The two of these types of candles tend to get mistaken for each other by an amateur candle enthusiast. When considering the look for decor, either in a home context or an event scenario, you have to consider the color theme of the ambiance within which the candle is going to be placed. While selecting the color of the candles is important, considering their size is crucial as tea lights are tinier compared to votives. Selecting the perfect size and holder for the candles will be the factor that determines which candle you will buy.
Tea lights are tinier than votives. Clear holders for both types can add more elegance. So consider the space needed before deciding upon the size of the candle type and holder type you need. Tea lights and votives are both cheap because they are easily available if you are buying paraffin candles. Between the two, tealights are less expensive. If you just want to burn essential oil in a ceramic wax tart warmer, tea lights are what you need.
If you want esthetics, nothing beats a beautiful votive candle in a glass holder. Tealights burn for hours on an average. Votives can burn up to 10 hours. That is why they are the preferred go-to for vigils and church prayers at the altar. Consider this when buying for events. Votives usually come in glass or polycarbonate clear holders that can be reused but cleaning their wax melts is a task.
You have to pop them in a freezer after the event and wait till its hard enough to remove easily.

The surface finish is better than most saws, but it is harder to keep the curve even, so expect some buldges that you can either contend with or sand away. I have said it before and I will say it again - the table saw sled is a versatile jig that should be in every shop.
Not only does it improve safety when operating the table saw, it also adds a slew of new possibilities to it. But enough pep talk. For this variation, the piece needs to be cut in half, which can also be done on the table saw using the sled.
Stand both pieces on end, i. Make sure to hold both pieces well at all times while keeping your fingers away from the blade. Note that I cut both pieces seperately when I did this - it would have cut my time in half doing both at once. Now, with the blade lowered down to almost zero, align one end of the sketch with the blade. Push the sled over the saw and keep the pieces held firmly in place.
Check the mark it made against the sketch and raise the blade if necessary. Repeat that process to hog out the material, always raising and, after half the hole, lowering the blade accordingly. While the table saw in general leaves a good surface finish depending on your blade , in this case you will get an analogue looking pattern that might or might not do it for you.
Basically, the fretsaw is the manual version of the scroll saw while some would argue that the scrollsaw is the motorised version of the fretsaw. Personally, I like the fretsaw a little better because you have more controle over the blade, but that is probably personal prefference.
I have mounted this piece in my vice, but you could just as easily use a simple fret saw support link to another 'Ible of mine. In the vice, I can cut maybe a quarter of the circle before I have to re-mount the piece. And like on the scrollsaw, it is likely to break a blade here unless you have superior fretting skills. The surface finish is better than most other methods. The compass saw is somewhat akin to a manual jigsaw, at least in the sense that it is meant for cutting curves and that you onnly need access to one side of the wood.
Still, in this case it is quite cumbersome to use, especialy since only a small portion of the blade fit into my starting hole. In effect, this is more like rasping away material than using an actual rasp, and after making one cut of roughly the diameter of the hole I started angling the blade to make more cuts and free up space to make more of them. At the end, I tried using the saw to clean up the hole and work my way to the line, but it was not a happy experience.
The surface finish is as can be expected, pretty rough and uneven. I should note that maybe my compass saw might not be the sharpest tool in the shed. This is a technique that in my opinion does not see enough use - cutting coves on the table saw. To do that, you need to run the piece over the blade at an angle, and if you want to know more about it I recommend Matthias Wandel's article about the subject.
He also has a cove calculator so you know which settings give you which cove. The jig I use consists of two plywood pieces that attach to the tracks of my table saw using hex bolts. One bolt runs in a slot to allow for different angles. To get that angle I use a different approach than Matthias calculator. I raise the blade to the depth of the hole and place both halves of the blank against one side of the jig, one in front of the blade and the other behind it see the first picture.
It is a little hard to describe, but I try to position the pieces so that the edges of the sketch align with the points where the blade protrudes from the table. Then I move the cove jig to fit, correct the angle and repeat until I think I have it set up correctly. The second part of the jig is not strictly necessary as long as you make sure that the blade always pushes the pieces against the first auxilaury fence you should be fine.
But I prefer the additonal safety of a second, parallel fence for the workpieces to slide between. She and her neighbors had to go and stay in a hotel for weeks. Her clothes all turned black and many of her outfits were completely ruined. She lost most of her possessions including her passport.
I suggest that people should take care around candles. Fires can be terrible. I have a smoke alarm fitted in my home. Thanks for discussing the danger of fire. Yes people are not aware enough of dangerous candles can be if not used properly. Do you know what, it's amazing exactly how many people don't understand the dangers of candles. And if I'm brutally honest, I'm probably one of them. I do always put my tea lights and candles in suitable holders, but I very often leave the room for ages leaving them unattended.
Nothing has ever happened yet, thank god, but I know how easy it can happen. I have, on a couple of occasions, left a tea light on a wooden table without a plate or something underneath it and it's burnt a massive ring on the table, but to be honest, I'm fortunate that is all that has happened to me!
More people should be made aware of the dangers, thanks for doing that! It is worrying there re not adequate warnings on the packages these candles come in, if there are they are small print and no one reads them. Wow that is very surprising to hear i will never use tea lies ever again.
I can't believe that tea light candles are that dangerous. Thank you for the information on this. You are spot on here with the dangers of candles. A few days ago I started a discussion on fires I let my 14 year old daughter light candles in her room, but really I am thinking I maybe should stop this. She is responsible, but even so a gust a wind could blow the flame onto her papers. A very good discussion you have brought up here. Hi nancyrowina Last year I found the bigger tealights and thought oh this is great they will last alot longer.
I like to burn tarts alot. So I tried the larger tea light and about one hour later it caught fire. That was the scaryest thing ever for me.
