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
😝🤣🤣🤣
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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 :)
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).
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.
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
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.
I remember dipping my candle at Cedar Point! Then watching them carve it. It was shades of lavender and purple and white and black! 😊
Remember these being made and sold in shopping malls at the pop up kiosks in the 70’s
Never saw anything like this. It's amazing but also makes complete sense. It also seems very relaxing for the craftswoman. It's like the perfect job. Very nice.
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! ❤❤❤
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.
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
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!!
Beautiful! Definitely brings back memories as a remember my Aunties making these ‘back in the day’ ☺️ Thanks for sharing! 😍🦋
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 ❤️😊
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?
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
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 definitely remember these being very popular back in the 80s. I’m sure every grandma had one.
Seeing these candles being made was so satisfying. I'm happy the candle was lit for us to see its beauty.
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...
Back in the day you could watch them make these at Cedar Point. I bought one every year I went.
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
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...
I’d never thought I would love candle making asmr ❤
Seriously. My eyes almost rolled in the back of my head .
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 had a candle like this in the 90’s, It’s since gone, but now I want one again!
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.
Such beautiful candles I’ve always wanted one but you don’t see them anywhere 😢
Majestuoso!!!! tus manos crean lazos a través de tu arte.
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 😅😅😅😅
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.
Beautiful work. What kind of wax do you use for your candles?
It was one of my “when I get big” dreams to buy one of these candles. I still haven’t
Beautiful work you do!😊
So talented, your candles are exquisite !!! 😊❤
Beautiful! I love these
absolutely beautiful!🥰
Lindísimo, un arte sin duda.
Very beautiful!
Le felicito nunca me imaginé ese proceso....Muy hermoso su trabajo, prolijo y hermoso
Супер! И девушка и свеча и процесс. Прекрасно все!
Gorgeous masterpiece
Шикарное исполнение!!!!молодец.!!!!
Hermosas, sus obras de arte 🎨 😁 👍🏻
Very pretty from start to finish 💜💓💜
I love these candles !
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?
That candle is beautiful and creative
So beautiful!!
Took me 5 minutes to realise the video says Candles and not Candies lol
Lol
Gotta be the worst knife for cutting that wax, Id imagine a coping saw or hacksaw would be much faster, or a big cleaver and a wooden mallet
Beautiful 🎉 🕯️
So thankful for the shots of her coming into work and hanging her coat…
Gorgeous. Bi always wanted to try it. It is not easy.
Camera and edit well done.
I miss these so much.
I used to make these in front of people all day long. Thousands of Tourists walking by.. "Ooooo, Ahhhh.. Thats sooo pretty.." Yup.. Sure is.
روعاتك ،فنانة 😊
Fantastic 👍😍
Очень красиво.Ты молодец👍👍👍🙂
I remember watching these be made at the fabled public mall in my area.
Years ago, probably 30 ish, we found these in the Pocono Mountain store in PA.
It’s a beautiful candle.
Magnifique !!! 😊❤❤❤
Alle dine lys er så flotte, hvor er du dygtig.
I use to watch them make these on the beach in the 70s.
Beautiful.
My husband and I had a custom made one for our wedding along with 2 tall candles.
بسیارزیبا وشگفت انگیز
Зажгли! Аж жалко стало
So when it was done being dipped the bottom wasn't smooth so when did she flatten the bottom ?
Back in the day at the Disneyland hotel. There was a mobile cart with a person making these types of candles.
I use a four prong chocolate cutter (pick) on my wax slabs, faster, easier on the hands and if it slips you won’t cut yourself so it’s safer
ive found so many of these at goodwill
I cut my big blocks of wax with a big metal putty knife. It has been so much easier than a regular knife.
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.
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
You need a paper cutter type device for this I see and a food processor work smarter not harder really neat process thou
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.
they were very popular in the 1970's, everyone just about had one or two in their homes
Hello dear!! This is meghla from Bangladesh. I'm really very interested aboud this business. Would you please give me some ideas and tips.
Could a machine ever do this? The first part yes - ideally actually- but the second?
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！
Perfeito
Does it have a scent?
i found the breathing noises, of the camera person, rather amusing [in the quiet parts of the video] :D
Красиво даже жалко такую свечу зажигать каждая как произведение искуства😊
Полностью с вами согласна 👍
We used to go and watch these be carved at candle shops in Gatlinburg when I was a kid. It was fascinating to watch but once you bought them and got them home they started looking dirty really fast. Dusting them was practically impossible! So if you purchase one go ahead and burn it! Lol
Piekne swiece 👏
Резные свечи 👍👍👍
Nadherna precizna práca skoda palit sviečky.
She seriously needs a better knife to prep her wax with.
We would buy them at Wicks n' Sticks on long island.
People still do this and buy these?!? Well god bless and good luck.
We call this type of candles "Hawaiian Candle" in Japan.
Ich würde der dame eine kleine Bandsäge empfehlen. Geht schneller und sicherer die zerteilung der Grundmasse.
Been watching handmade candy vids for the past hour and this came up and I misread "candles" for "candies" and it wasn't until she lit it at 10:00 that I realized it was a candle 😶
Heat the blade of your knife and it will cut the wax quicker 😊 woukdnt do it when your carving the candle but just the wax yout gonna melt
