Candle votives are decorative candles that are designed to be placed in a votive candle holder. They can be used in many different deco styles and can create a very intimate atmosphere. Glass is another material that can be used to make candle holders, although it is less common because it is fragile and tends to be more expensive than other materials.
Metal is a versatile and affordable material that can be used to make a variety of candle holders. The most popular is iron, which can be coloured to give it the antique look that has become so fashionable in recent years. Brass is also often used to make candle holders. It is made from a mineral called bauxite, which is ground up to form a thick paste called alumina. This is melted into a material called cryolite, and then turned into a solid form that can be used to make candle holders.
