Candle Carving

October 3, 2007 |

carved candle

All Candle Quilters hand carved candles contain a tube that is filled
with candle oil allowing you to keep the design intact so that only the inside burns. Shown here is bows and sashes hand carved style candle in yellow and green. Colors can also be customized.

 To see more of their selections and styles check out Candle Quilter’s gallery. 

If you would like to try your hand at carving your own candles, The Candle Carving Site offers a free guide to candle carving different designs showing which tools and methods to use.

Here’s one of my favorite candle carving videos from Tracy Birch that I posted previously.

Candle Fun offers more detailed instructions on DVD.  I would love to learn how to do this. I suspect it would take a lot of practice to make something presentable.

    I make candles but would love to learn advanced candle making and also to make candles like Tracy Birch. I would be grateful for any information about finding candle making courses - does Tracy teach?
    Thanks for any help

    Jane, I haven’t succeeded in tracking down any tutorials from Tracy Birch. I would love to learn more on carving as well.

    I did find some instructional DVD’s that might be worth looking into at Candle Fun. http://www.candlefun.com/

    Hey Bob, the link seems to be working on my end. Hopefully you made it there because they seem to still be in business.

    Yes CandleFun is very much still in business. I took a private lesson from him at BitterCreeks convention in May and now I’m hooked. I LOVE these candles. I purchased one from him yesterday for a bridal shower gift and the woman was so impressed with it that they are going to use it in the wedding. Have you seen the candles with the LED light in the bottom???? They are beautiful.

    Good to know Nancy, thanks. I will have to check it out to see which candle you’re referring to with the LED light.
