Candle making process

Abstract

A jar candle includes at least two decorative elements located adjacent the interior of the jar and positioned in a predetermined relationship with respect to one another. A manufacturing method for forming the jar candle includes proving ajar having an interior surface defining an interior region. A sleeve having a pre-determined pattern is slid over the jar. The sleeve and jar are aligned and a decorative element is applied to the interior surface of the jar element in alignment with the pre-determined pattern on the sleeve. The jar is then filled with wax.

1 . A jar candle, comprising: 
 a jar having an interior surface;    a candle located within the jar,    at least two decorative elements being located adjacent the interior surface and positioned in a predetermined pattern; and    wherein the jar includes an opening and a first portion having a first cross sectional area that is greater than a second cross-sectional area of a second portion, the second portion being located between the first portion and the opening.    
   
   
       2 . (canceled)  
   
   
       3 . The jar candle of  claim 1 , wherein the decorative elements include a first face being proximate the inner surface of the jar, the decorative element further includes a second face opposite the first face and an outer periphery extending between the first face and opposing second face, the outer periphery and second face of the decorative element being embedded within the candle.  
   
   
       4 . The jar candle of  claim 3 , wherein the decorative elements are secured to the inner surface of the jar with an adhesive.  
   
   
       5 . The jar candle of  claim 4 , wherein the adhesive is a wax material.  
   
   
       6 . The jar candle of  claim 5 , wherein the candle includes a first wax material adjacent the inner surface of the jar and the decorative elements.  
   
   
       7 . The jar candle of  claim 6 , wherein the first wax material extends a pre-determined distance inward into an interior of the jar to form a first wax layer.  
   
   
       8 . The jar candle of  claim 7 , wherein the candle includes a second wax layer having a material different than the first wax layer and being located in an interior region defined by the first wax later.  
   
   
       9 . (canceled)  
   
   
       10 . A method for forming ajar candle, comprising: 
 providing a jar having an interior surface defining an interior region;    sliding a sleeve over the jar, the sleeve having a predetermined pattern;    aligning the sleeve and jar;    applying a decorative element to the interior surface of the jar, the decorative element being in alignment with the pattern on the sleeve; and    covering the decorative element with wax.    
   
   
       11 . The method of forming ajar candle of  claim 10 , wherein aligning the sleeve and jar includes placing a bottom of the sleeve and a bottom of the jar in alignment.  
   
   
       12 . The method of forming ajar candle of  claim 10 , wherein filling the jar with wax includes applying a first layer of wax adjacent the decorative elements and the interior surface of the jar and applying a second layer of wax within a cavity formed by the first layer of wax.  
   
   
       13 . The method of forming ajar candle of  claim 12 , wherein applying a second layer of wax includes inserting a preformed candle having a second wax material and a wick within the cavity formed by the first layer of wax.  
   
   
       14 . The method of forming ajar candle of  claim 13 , wherein the first layer of wax is a darker shade than the second layer of wax.  
   
   
       15 . (canceled)  
   
   
       16 . The method of forming ajar candle of  claim 14 , further including forming a plurality of decorative elements from wax.  
   
   
       17 . The method of forming a jar candle of  claim 10 , wherein providing a jar, includes providing a jar with an opening and a first portion having a first cross sectional area that is greater than a second cross-sectional area of a second portion, the second portion being located between the first portion and the opening.  
   
   
       18 . The method of forming a jar candle of  claim 10 , wherein the pre-determined pattern on the sleeve includes an outline that matches an outer periphery of the decorative element.  
   
   
       19 . The method of forming ajar candle of  claim 18 , wherein the first layer of wax is a lighter shade than the second layer of wax.  
   
   
       20 . The method of forming ajar candle of  claim 19 , wherein the decorative elements are formed from wax and bleed into the first layer of wax.  
   
   
       21 . The method of forming a jar candle of  claim 10  wherein applying a decorative element includes applying at least two decorative elements in alignment with the pattern on the sleeve.
