It's a friends birthday coming up. at the moment, she's into candles...

I thought it would be nice to make her a candle. My idea is to make it in an empty drinks bottle. I.e a glass bottle.

now I realise that the candle will be almost impossible to light once the wick has burned anywhere away from the bottle neck, but I'm hoping it will be more of a decorative piece.

as I have never made a candle before I have a few questions.

1. is it safe to make in a glass bottle
2. what am I going to need? (i.e candle making beads? or can I just melt down old candles?)

I've looked around and got a basic idea of what I need to do, just after any tips off anyone who might have experience....

thanks!
