Multi-color drip candles

There is something astonishing about drip candles. The reason might be how the wax spills over the holder or bottle, making you feel like you are in a café in Paris. As this trend came from candlelit French cafes, where each table was topped by a checkered tablecloth and lit by a tapered candle dripping colored wax over green bottle glass. Or it might be the way these drops bead and pool messily while you are enjoying the company of your friend. These candles seem very plain and simple yet they create a unique vibe that stores in our memories forever. Now imagine lighting a white candle, and the wax of the candle drips down the sides as it burns, creating a colorful and mesmerizing effect that can be quite beautiful!

Multi-color drip candles are usually taper candles that are designed to create a colorful and unique effect as they burn. These candles are usually made from paraffin or beeswax and when melting, multi-color wax drips creating a colorful piece of art. These types of dripping taper candles are often used as decorative pieces or even centerpieces for special events or as a unique addition to home décor.

Obviously, candles have dripped for centuries, whether in old stone cathedrals, historic temples, or early Victorian houses. The “drip” of the past though wasn’t so much an aesthetic choice but a function of a given candle’s wax and wick composition, and all taper candles, to some extent, do drip. These days though, “the drip” can be a very conscious choice and usually means the wax used has a lower melting point so it burns faster, resulting in drips that hardens into “waxicles” that will collect in a holder or bottle.

As a holder, you may choose an empty bottle that already represents a romantic evening or another special occasion to you. Or you may choose a bottle with a pleasing shape, and a pleasant color.

It’s best to buy tapers described as dripping taper candles.

If your tapered candle is too chunky to fit the neck of your bottle, pare it down with a vegetable knife until it will fit snugly.

 

adjusting the dripping candle for the wine bottle

 

Make sure to set the wine bottle candle holder on a non-flammable surface, find a secure, flat surface that can easily be cleaned if melted wax drips onto it. Set your wine bottle on a pretty plate, or some other flat, non-flammable surface, for easy cleanup and safety.
