I remember these being popular about 20 years ago. Every mall in the area had at least 2 candle stores that sold or made these and every house had at least one prominently displayed.

Use to watch this being done at the mall all the time , well various malls in various cities over the years, during the holiday seasons. Very fun and entertaining to watch in person. Never got tired watching. I had a couple, lost in the many many moves I've made but never could bring myself to burn them. I have heard that some people sit a tea candle in the top divit and burn that instead of the actual candle.

Used to watch a guy make them in the mall.

Simple once you have practiced.

You start out practicing on all white so you can melt your mistakes and try again.

I saw someone do this in real time at a mall store back in '92. We bought a bunch of the mushroom candles and two of the bigger ones I think...almost thirty years later and I still remember that day, those candles were so beautiful.

Candle making requires a lot of hard work . This looks so cool

I've watched people carve candles in person and it was gorgeous to watch. I literally could have stayed there all day watching their creations. They made it look so easy and flawless. This lady was amazing to watch, she's very creative/talented.

I would never use mine lol, I wouldn't burn it because it looks too good and probably costs too much as well.

This is quite the art.. I wonder how many people could just sit down and craft such a masterpiece..

[PinaaaColaaa]

In 15 minutes she did that?

Holland House Candles is still in business! After watching this with my kids, we had a Christmas Candle made for my wife. We light it every year... we love it!

I saw this years ago and HAD to have my own from this company. I have the set of three. I love them and I will have them until I die. Such important candles. Just beautiful.

Now if bath and body works had candles like these, they would be worth the money👍

In the world we live in now full of minimalistic designs such detailed craftsmanship is quite refreshing.

Those were popular in the 1970's. They were actually very hard to keep burning. When I visited Hawaii in the 90's, there were open shops which made these candles as customers watched. I got the idea they used regular Crayons for color so I had the idea the wax had to have special ingredients for it to be maleable and maybe that was why it was so hard to keep one of these candles lit.
