ABSTRACT:
A method for forming candles according to the invention includes four basic steps: providing a candle core; heating a working area on the outer surface of the candle core such that the working area is pliable; sculpturing a portion of the working area; and reheating the working area with a readily available household heating implement whenever the working area of the candle falls below a desired temperature. A candle core is comprised of multiple inner layers of distinct color and composition, an outer surface preferably having a pliable temperature range of about 120 to 125.degree. Fahrenheit, and a wick extending from a top end and wound into a loop. Because the pliable temperature range of the candle core is relatively low, the candle core need only to be preheated by submerging it a in hot water bath prior to sculpturing. Additionally, the outer surface of the candle core may be reheated anytime during sculpturing using a hair dryer or other readily available household heating source. To facilitate the sculpturing and reheating steps, a sculpturing stand is provided from which the candle core may be suspended by engaging the wick loop with a hook on an elevated member of the sculpturing stand.
