Calla Lily Taper Candles


Recommended Posts

They are beautiful and unique, but look like they could be a bear to transport/ship without the flower chipping/marking/breaking. Are you having special boxes made?

Not having them made, exactly. We will be wrapping these in foam, then using a box around it, then nesting in the outer box.

You have probably answered this but I am going to ask again.

How do you make these tapers with the Calla Lily attached? Do you use a mold? I can't even imagine the process. How long does the process take to perfect your desired candle?

They are absolutely beautiful.

I'm actually not molding the flower portion at all. It is all hand shaped, a bit like a carved candle would be. It is actually a rapid process, the longest part is waiting for the wax to melt. This one is probably the easiest I've tried so far. I'm also working on a Stargazer lily and an orchid version. Neither of them are easy.
