How To Make Carved Candles – This is Impressive!
How to Make Carved Candles
Have you ever walked around the mall, or specialty events and noticed the beautiful carved candles for sale? They are so unique, and a treat to watch being made. They were first made in Germany, by using layers of different colored wax, and are now a world wide phenomenon. It is truly amazing how these are made and really neat to watch. Talented carvers make beautiful swirls and curls in wax to make real works of arts!
In this video they show the carved candles are actually started with a star shaped candle. The candles are then dipped into different color waxes for 30 – 35 times! These works of art take a lot of wax, and a lot patience to make. Also time is of the essence as they have to be completed within 15 minutes of the wax being at the perfect temperature. This video is extra neat because the artist adds the addition of windmills and hummingbirds to these beautiful candles.
In this video they mention people actually burn these. I can’t imagine doing that. They seem more like works of art to be admired…. but then again, if I owned one I would probably end up burning it anyway. If you’re curious how they’re made here is a great video on it! These are made by Holland House Candles, and in my humble opinion are absolutely AMAZING!
