Taper Candles - Set The Table In Elegance With These Beauties

Executive Summary about Tapered Candles by Peter Clark

Taper candles

Taper candles are the perfect ones to use to create an ambiance of elegance. You can get tapered candles as scented and unscented. Taper candles are long and slender and require a candle holder with a small hole in which you insert the end of the candle. In pioneer days, taper candles were made from animal fat. Today a taper candle is made from paraffin wax to make it dripless. Taper candles made from this kind of wax leave very little residue, but they do burn in a mushroom shape. Keep dipping the wicks into the wax and alternating with the cold water until you have the tapered candles the size you want.

Once you get used to making taper candles at home, you can experiment with various colors and scents. You can also experiment with decorating the dripless taper candles. Then the hobby of making taper candles can blossom into a full-fledged business. This is how many of the popular candle companies of today, such as Gold Canyon Candles and Faroy Candles, got started.
