I got these at a huge flea market/antique store. six dollars each! they are a present for a friend. one has some wax in it already. the short candles are easier to find than tea lights but i wondered. so the short ones should be put inside a glass holder first if used??

If you use the small votive candles in those, like others suggest I would put them in small glass votive holders. You won't really see them when in use because the pattern of the glass will hide them and they will protect the outside glass. If you lightly spray the inside of the votive holder before putting the votive in, it will make the melted candle easier to remove later. You can also soak the votive holder in hot water to loosen the candle when it is time to change it.
The new LED lights are cool to, some even have the flickering effect.

I just saw battery operated tea lights but they seem like they wouldnt' show much light. but also saw the short fat ones battery operated. they might give better light. I may look for them when i'm ready to get the lamps mailed.
thanks all.
