Hello everybody! I'm Lily and my channel Lily Rose is mostly about DIY and nail art. I like to create videos with love and share amazing craft projects or easy nail designs for you to recreate at home!
With the arrival of fall there is one important decor piece that is findinding its way back into our life: candles. And hey, I’m not complaining! I love candles. Recently you see more and more woodwick candles popping up, which besides being just super stylish, make the most amazing fire crackling sound like your very own little fireplace. However, wood wick candles tend to be more expensive (as if candle prices weren't crazy enough) and not they aren't that readily available (at least here in Europe, that I know of). So the best is to create your owns. As the name states, you will need some wood wicks, which you can obviously buy, but again, more expensive,... and guess what, you can make your owns with some simple popsicle sticks! Nop, I’m not joking. Fancy expensive looking candles, made from some cheap popsicle sticks.

Hey everyone! At the beginning of the Video you can hear the crackling a bit, that is not part of the song, but the actual candles. I know it's a bit too short and it kind of goes unnoticed, but it is something I will take to heart in other videos ❤️ If you want a bit of a clearer sound, I also have it up on my Instagram @

Great Idea: I eat a lot of ice cream so this makes sense to me.

Everybody I know is getting candles for Christmas

I am going to try this ASAP. I am new to candle making and I thought the wicks were going to be the death of me. Thanks Lily. Glad I came across your video today.

FINALLY I have the ingredients!!!

[@bigtgamer9680]

I have a box of craft popsicle sticks, and I think leftover wax from 10ish candles. Gonna bring them back to life. Thanks for the help!

I did this today with olive oil and can't believe it worked!! It was so simple and now my desk is very cozy! thank you :))

Popsticks made usually made from white Baltic Birch xx from uk

[@cphank151]

popsicle sticks are made of birchwood. Tongue depressors are also made of birchwood. These are typically wider than popsicle sticks and would probably be a good alternative if a larger flame is desired. The candle should always be burned until the pool of wax gets to the edge of the container to prevent tunneling into the wax. Adding additional wicks for more flames will shorten the minimum recommended burn time required to make the pool approach the edge of the container.

Though it can vary from company to company, popsicle sticks are typically made of birchwood. Occasionally, plastic or another type of wood is used for ice cream sticks and holders, but birchwood remains popular!

Disappointed we didn't get to HEAR them since that's kind of the most important part of a woodwick candle, however it was still a good video.

I just made a candle using this method. I only soaked them for an hour because I’m not patient so that may have effected the outcome. At first it kept burning out but eventually it stayed but it is very weak. I suggest doing multiple wicks if the candle is any bigger than the ones she used so it burns evenly. It does make a nice cracking sound :)

I just made using juniper wood from out side. I did 2 different candles. 1) lard; didn't stay lit so added some wax and melted wax over stick. Still going 4 hrs. 2) Old wax and stick, let the old wax just melt down around the stick. Took a little bit to lite, so dripped wax on stick. Wala!! 3hr still burning. So my take on this is it's the wax on the stick. I believe any stick will do.

OMG! So cute 😍

[@melenahoward]

Great video. I often use Binder bull clips and take off the little handle parts after I put the stick in :)

[@rahatirshad4180]
