Glass Hurricane Candle
which is more supportive in a large vase, sand or colored glass beads to hold candles?
they are hurricane vases and i only pane to put one taper candle in each one, but i don't want them to fall over.
In all honesty both will hold up fine. It really depends on which appeals visually to you more. I've made more centerpieces than I care to remember and have never had an issue with either holding up candles.
Of course sand is messier, but it holds up the candle just fine. You can even wet the sand if you are really worried about it and push the candle down into the sand a little bit for some extra support.
Pebbles are easier to work with and look really nice, you'd have to wiggle the candle around a little bit once you set it in the vase just so it's flat, but there won't be any issues in the candle falling over after that. Well, if someone knocks the vase over obviously the candle would move (ha ha) but that is true no matter what you use as a base.
Just use whichever works best with your theme 
Best of luck!
