Decorative Candles are a versatile item and can be used for several different purposes. Decorative Candles are used in a tea light holder. A decorative candle holder does not have to be made of metal, wood, or something else altogether. You can make some very unique decorative candles by Custom Packaging on your own. The substance most commonly used to craft Decorative Candles is paraffin, which can be melted down and poured into a mold.
