ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to candles and, more particularly, to decorative candles.
Many varieties of decorative candles have been produced. Different techniques have been used to provide a decorative appearance to these candles. One such technique involves placing a candle in a decorated votive. However, this involves using a candle along with an additional, and usually glass, votive. This method produces a heavy candle with the added cost of the additional material for the votive. Other techniques for producing decorative candles include placing flowers, herbs, candies, rocks, coffee beans, or other items within the outer portion of the candle so that they are visible as decoration. The decorative features of such candles and others have become usual and common. A need exists for a candle without a votive having unique decorative features.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a candle and method of making the same that overcomes at least some of the above-noted problems of the prior art. According to the present invention, a candle is provided having an inner core with a top end, a bottom end, an outer surface, and a wick. A middle layer is attached to the outer surface of the inner core and an outer layer is attached to the middle layer.
A method of making the candle is provided wherein an inner wax core with a top end, a bottom end, an outer surface, and a wick is provided. A middle layer is attached to the outer surface of the inner wax core and an outer wax layer is adhered to the middle layer.
These and further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and drawings.
