If I recall correctly from years ago watching videos like this, when these candles burn, only the core melts due to the different kinds of wax used. So, if you were to burn one down, you would still have the decorative shell as display. These candles are beautiful to watch being made. I wish that we saw the unedited carving and dipping. It’s a long yet short process that is just so satisfying. And I’ve watched so many of these kinds of videos on repeat that the novelty of each video goes down even though the candles themselves are so gorgeous.
Someone gave my Aunt one of these in the 1980’s. She never lit it. In 2016, she died suddenly and one of her son’s lit the candle. It burned about an inch/2.54 cm and would not stay lit or burn anymore.
In the summer of 1979 I was a young teenager in Rockport, Massachusetts, and I used to stand by the hour & watch a professional chandler making and carving these exact same candle creations at a local tourist storefront near the entrance to Bearskin Neck! I was amazed at the talent of the chandler & wanted to learn the art myself (I failed, of course, as I didn't have the artistic talent needed).
I'm so glad you actually lit it for us! I'll never understand why people say they wouldn't burn these candles, that's like saying I wish I had an apple tree that never gave me apples. A candle was created to burn, the shame is only if it goes unappreciated.
@@Omnibushido- Hence why i said those made in the 80s/90s are not safe to burn :) I'd love to get some newer ones mind I loved making them and i'm pleased they are still being made :)
Some people have difficulty parting with something unique that wont be the same - like putting stickers on something for example. I used to be this way with candles, for example one candle from bath and body works they have never reprinted. I used to lament running out of it bc I would never have it again but then I realized if I never use it, it just sits there, and I won’t get to enjoy it.
People say they won't burn them because they want them to last longer. They're put on display as beautiful decorations, which is their primary purpose. I had one of these candles as a kid, I watched it being dipped and carved. People tried to convince me to light it but I refused. It sat proudly on my dresser for many years and was definitely not unappreciated. One of the comments claims the shell won't melt and that you can replace the inner candle but most people aren't aware of that and I'm not sure if that's actually true for all dipped candles.
I could watch candles being carved for hours on end. The drippings from the bottom of the candles make the most adorable little mushrooms that you can put a Wick in.
These could make a comeback if they were all in muted toned. White, beige, gray, gold, silver, etc. I remember having these back in the 80's. Great to watch one made.
that is absolutely positively one hundred percent the most beautiful colored hand carved candle i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as a matter of fact i might order one from you for Christmas!!!
Боже какая красота! Люблю свечи, но такую прелесть ещё не видела! Молодец,ты мастер своего дела! Желаю дольнейших успехов в твоём творчественом труде. 👍🤩😊
the middle is a clear wax that burns down so the outside doesnt burn, its still wax but u have to be careful. but u burn it down and when it gets low enough u can put a tealight inside
First time ive ever actually seen one of these lit and i almost cried 😢😢 when i was younger we used to go to Helen GA alot and would wath them make these gorgeous candles so obviously we owned several over the years but never lit any of them lol theyre just too pretty to burn!! But this is this first time ive seen these candles in years! I used to see them in certain stores but its just like the dissappeared! Was so happy to see this video and am now subscribed!!
I learned this craft at 12...it's really incredible to be in a room with all the Drying candles hanging and all of the many colors of hot liquid wax...your process looks much cleaner and more organized even though i wa learning from a Master artisan. VERY COOL CRAFT THAT YOU CHOSE! ❤❤❤
Nice job on that beauty💯 Just recalled bieng a boyscout! We Often made candles… At the end when it cooled a little off, we dipped our hands and making stearin hands… First two dips was hot! And rest was just fun! It was in the 80’s So no issues at all, free play! Touching each others faces🤣 So Strange num hands, sometimes we could pull our hands out. And there was a perfect cast😎 We just dumped it back into the warm stearin… Scoutleaders had fun watching our creapy hand-face touch🤣 We sold the candles we made, for summer Camp charity ❤️😊
I remember getting these in the 90s in Savannah GA. I loved watching the crafter make them. It was mesmerizing. We did burn them a little and they were so pretty.
I made one of these at a fair as a child. You were given the core, then could dip it yourself in whatever colour waxes you chose. Then handed it over for very quick cutting and shaping. When firm you picked it up and took it home. It was so fun to help make it.
Aqui no Brasil tinha uma senhora que fabricava vela que "chorarava" colorido. A vela era branca, mas quando acesa escorria em cores diferentes. Sempre quis saber como ela fazia aquilo...
I used to watch them make these at a local fair we had. I always bought one, though they burn odd once you start burning them and the layers kinda fold into one another, beautiful tho
I knew the guy who invented this method of making carved candles. In fact his name was "Willie Nelson" (not the singer) and his whole thing was making amazing candles. I recall a giant wax "bubble"he made, with an integral candle inside, with 3 wicks in it, in a macrame hanger. The light shone through the layers of coloured wax and it looked like a beautiful moon.
Back in the 70's, at a Logging camp museum in northern Wisc., we watched a guy make a fishing troll for my dad. it is a very lengthy, but cool process to watch.
It's amazingly beautiful. And it's amazingly talented. Can you tell me what the white candle was made by dipping it in the pots and then dipping it in liquid from time to time?❤
Difficult to find candles now that don't come in glass. Most people don't bother to remove the wax and recycle the glass. I have beautiful candlehoders but have trouble finding pillars, tapers, votives. Into the early 2000s there were entire stores devoted to candles. So many beautiful designs. Hard to find now.
I would love to be able to do that. I have bought a few of them for gifts. Use to be able to get them at the mall.❤️❤️ I bet you love your job. I love your job😁 I want the purple and yellow one.😁 How much do they cost?
I must be hungry, i thought it said “hand made candies”. I saw her dipping the “candy” in delicious fruit sauceses, then i saw her raw handing my “candies” and that had me like wtf, and I IMMEDIATELY went back to read the title... lol oopsies... tee hee hee, lol
I remember making these at Cedar Point in Ohio when I was a kid in the 70's. Never had the patients to dunk the base in more than 20 colors so my candle would be pretty lame...lol
Awesome! There must be a heated wire cutter tool available, instead of cutting your fingers. I used to work at a tactical knife store. Be careful. It looks like Willy Wonka Candy maybe you could make one out of sugar. I remember these from the '70s.
In the 70's, those were called "dust catchers" because they are too pretty to light and once the dust settles in the folds it was impossible to clean.
They still are
This made me laugh because this is exactly the experience of owning one of these.
Gross
Everything burns
😝🤣🤣🤣

Would that mean that you can refill the cavity with a new wick and wax, or would the new hot wax cause the outside to melt?
I used to make these as a kid. Yes you can refill them until they fill up with just wax.
Someone gave my Aunt one of these in the 1980’s. She never lit it. In 2016, she died suddenly and one of her son’s lit the candle. It burned about an inch/2.54 cm and would not stay lit or burn anymore.
@@PlatinumpuppyI can't believe your aunt broke the candle. What a jerk.

Not too far from my neck of the woods. I'm in Plymouth county

The ones we made in the 80's/90's now spit wax so there not safe to burn anymore :( battery tea lights are a better way to use them.
@@ravenna99 But these ones weren’t made in the 80’s/90’s so it doesn’t exactly apply here lmao

A lot of people had these in the 1970’s I wonder why they don’t make them anymore. Very beautiful!
They can be had online.
You can also find the artisans at craft fairs
they make them all the time in like tourist areas
There's still no cure for the dust magnets they become.
There’s a girl in TikTok who’s quite popular. Her family lives in Guernsey and still makes them.
I could watch candles being carved for hours on end. The drippings from the bottom of the candles make the most adorable little mushrooms that you can put a Wick in.
Beautiful! Definitely brings back memories as a remember my Aunties making these ‘back in the day’ ☺️ Thanks for sharing! 😍🦋
I remember dipping my candle at Cedar Point! Then watching them carve it. It was shades of lavender and purple and white and black! 😊
These could make a comeback if they were all in muted toned. White, beige, gray, gold, silver, etc. I remember having these back in the 80's. Great to watch one made.
I’d prefer it with color, that’s just me though
Imagine getting married outside with candles like this in white gold and beige coloring
that is absolutely positively one hundred percent the most beautiful colored hand carved candle i have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as a matter of fact i might order one from you for Christmas!!!
Боже какая красота! Люблю свечи, но такую прелесть ещё не видела! Молодец,ты мастер своего дела! Желаю дольнейших успехов в твоём творчественом труде. 👍🤩😊
I’m not a Campbell person because I’m afraid of fire
So beautiful. I still have mine from the State Fair, I absolutely love it. I watched them make it, purple, blue and white. Great job!
That 🕯 is so beautiful piece of art. If I had one of those, I would keep it as a souvenir and would never burn it

Remember these being made and sold in shopping malls at the pop up kiosks in the 70’s

Hola! Comsulta como se llama el colorante que utilizan para teñir las velas?
I definitely remember these being very popular back in the 80s. I’m sure every grandma had one.
Nice job on that beauty💯

There use to be this candle shop in San Francisco at Pier 39, I always amazed at how then people cut them into art!! So fascinating to watch!
I remember they used to have booths in the mall that people would make these candles.
I used to love watching them do this … all over malls in the ‘70’s.
Recently they reappeared at the Saturday Market here in Portland, OR.
I remember getting these in the 90s in Savannah GA. I loved watching the crafter make them. It was mesmerizing. We did burn them a little and they were so pretty.
I got mine in the 90s from a neighbor’s garage sale. It was a smaller one, a mixture of pink/peach. I kept it on my bathtub 🎀
I made one of these at a fair as a child. You were given the core, then could dip it yourself in whatever colour waxes you chose. Then handed it over for very quick cutting and shaping. When firm you picked it up and took it home. It was so fun to help make it.
Back in the day you could watch them make these at Cedar Point. I bought one every year I went.
I’d never thought I would love candle making asmr ❤
Seriously. My eyes almost rolled in the back of my head .
In the 80s there was a kiosk at the Bay Fair Mall in San Leandro where they made these. I was amazed, and still am, at the artistry...
Pure admiration for your work.

Such beautiful candles I’ve always wanted one but you don’t see them anywhere 😢
It's Russia. 8:04 In the lower left corner there is a five-liter bottle of water of the Russian brand "Пилигрим"
Nobody cares
@@simmiesim321I do
Actually, I do. Rude.@@simmiesim321
Гениально, Ватсон! А не проще ли прочитать надпись *Резные свечи*.
Х... Хрю?
i will never look at candles the same anymore, how could you burn that work of art👌nice job..subbed and liked❤️
Cause then you have an excuse to get more 😅😅😅😅
Супер! И девушка и свеча и процесс. Прекрасно все!
I used to watch them make these at a local fair we had. I always bought one, though they burn odd once you start burning them and the layers kinda fold into one another, beautiful tho
It was one of my “when I get big” dreams to buy one of these candles. I still haven’t
Quite pretty. I remember seeing those many years ago -- 70's per another's comments. I didn't realize they were still being made today.
They are so beautiful! ❤ And satisfying to watch made.

I had a candle like this in the 90’s, It’s since gone, but now I want one again!
I used to have one i don't know what happened to it but it was from the 80s or 90s. I loved it so pretty.
Le felicito nunca me imaginé ese proceso....Muy hermoso su trabajo, prolijo y hermoso
Beautiful work you do!😊
Back in the 70's, at a Logging camp museum in northern Wisc., we watched a guy make a fishing troll for my dad. it is a very lengthy, but cool process to watch.
Interessant 🤓 und 🌈 schön ❗️Tolle Arbeit ❗️👏🙂
Gorgeous masterpiece
That candle is beautiful and creative
Quá khéo tay....tuyệt vời...không biết sản phẩm có giá mắc không
Amazing designs
It's amazingly beautiful. And it's amazingly talented. Can you tell me what the white candle was made by dipping it in the pots and then dipping it in liquid from time to time?❤
For some reason I am reminded of Hindu mythology. This looks like something that would float over and light the gardens of Krishna.
Very pretty from start to finish 💜💓💜
Hermoso trabajo dios bendiga sus manos que elaboran este trabajo

Beautiful work. What kind of wax do you use for your candles?
Очень красиво.Ты молодец👍👍👍🙂

Very beautiful!

I want the purple and yellow one.😁 How much do they cost?
I remember watching these be made at the fabled public mall in my area.
Красиво даже жалко такую свечу зажигать каждая как произведение искуства😊
Полностью с вами согласна 👍
Years ago, probably 30 ish, we found these in the Pocono Mountain store in PA.
بسیارزیبا وشگفت انگیز
My husband and I had a custom made one for our wedding along with 2 tall candles.
I must be hungry, i thought it said “hand made candies”. I saw her dipping the “candy” in delicious fruit sauceses, then i saw her raw handing my “candies” and that had me like wtf, and I IMMEDIATELY went back to read the title... lol oopsies... tee hee hee, lol
These are much nicer than those damn candles I bought from Jan Levinson-Gould.
I cut my big blocks of wax with a big metal putty knife. It has been so much easier than a regular knife.
they were very popular in the 1970's, everyone just about had one or two in their homes
It looks so satisfying to cut wax🎉
Beautiful.
i found the breathing noises, of the camera person, rather amusing [in the quiet parts of the video] :D
I remember making these at Cedar Point in Ohio when I was a kid in the 70's. Never had the patients to dunk the base in more than 20 colors so my candle would be pretty lame...lol
Зажгли! Аж жалко стало
Very nice.
Back in the day at the Disneyland hotel. There was a mobile cart with a person making these types of candles.
Incredibly! Please, could you share the exact name of the machine?
I have one now from the 70’s and it has never been lit.
I make candles as a hobby, and when I get a new block of wax, I just use a hammer to smash the heck out of it, and then weigh from there on out LOL.
ハワイでお土産として10個買った、皆に喜ばれたキャンドルです！
