rebeccajo99 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I don't know how you would do it.... buy my guess would be pouring a flat candle.. and then when it is almost set up (soft and plyable yet) twisting it???That would be my first guess on what to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If you look in the archives of the old board you will see a few of those along with instructions. Tanya I think was making those but I an not sure I am remembering right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 opps I was wrong it was Julie Kayhttp://www.candletech.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=gallery;action=display;num=1101278198;start= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You dip your taper and while it's still warm and pliable you use a rolling pin on it then twist it. I love the way these look. ~Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuuppy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I saw a book at Barns and Noble that had step by step instructions for those, with pics. But it was the same as Julia said. They also took 2 tapers and twisted them together around a metal rod, kind of like a caduceus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Memory serves me right, Tanya did some of those though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustpuuppy Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Memory serves me right, Tanya did some of those though.I think half the board was making them at one time. Seems like that was one of our 'kids with new toys' moments. Like when a kid plays with the new toy nonstop for a week then throws it in the corner and never looks at it again.Like the water candles... ice candles... several other things. Once we figured out that we could actually make them, it wasn't fun anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 They are very pretty and easy to make, but they actually burned lousy and dripped like crazy. They make good decorative candles, but not very practical to burn, at least my experience when I made some way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ah, but it was Bruce who started the craze lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
