tea light/ votives break glass

Why does he think the glass will break? Is it because it's hanging from the ceiling?

No sorry lol my pictures keep turning upside down... I cant fix it... but he thinks it will make the glass to hot.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i'm sorry but Jeanne's comment was hilarious!!!!

I don't think they will break but maybe you should keep one on for a few hours at home to test them out

I flipped it for you lol

If you're (or he...lol) super worried about it, you can use flameless candles! That's what we did, and no one even knew the difference...lol

I honestly think he's just being paranoid. But i think I am going to do a test run and leave it burning for a few hours.

@SoontobeJB how did you do that... the only thing I havnt tried is editing it so its upside down on my desk top...

If the glass is not tempered, it can break from the heat -- especially when the flame gets really low.

You could put a bit of water in the bottom -- maybe even dye it one of your colors.

Or use the flameless (battery-powered) candles.

Just test it and let the candle run all the way down.

Did you get holders that specify candle use?

Sorry, couldn't help it. As long as you're using something that's actually made for candles, it won't break. It might get a little warm but it won't break.

I'd test it too. I actually ordered regular votive glass holders off Amazon because I have a candle obsession problem and I was sitting on the couch yesterday, heard the sound of glass breaking, and found the broken votive holder.

I wouldn't think you would have a problem but I do agree doing a test run is your best bet.

I would test it and if it breaks then get something else.

Its not made for candles its a stem less wine glass

I tested it for about 3 hours it didn't break the glass didnt even get hot lol. I love him

Yay and i just saved the pick flipped it and reposted it hAha

I've seen it happen. No idea what type of Holger it was, but it shattered. Loud too! Flameless candles are a better choice, regardless. Both for safety and effectiveness, IMO.

I'm probley going to do multiple test and such but I think it will work. and all the flameless candles i've seen look... silly is a nice word. does anyone know of some inexpensive ones that look good?

I'm glad it didn't break. Something to remember is make sure any flowers or paper will not be near the flame. I have seen flowers start to smolder and smoke when they were an inch or more away from the flame. I always recommend using high quality flameless candles for this.

I'm pretty sure that it isn't extreme temperatures that shatter glass; it's a rapid shift from one temperature to another. So unless you plan on refrigerating them before you put the candles in them, you should be fine.
