Heart Candle Designs


An experimental design that may become a finished product in the future. In the meantime, we'll share it here!


There was a question by a candle enthusiast ... "is there a way for a heart to be hidden within a candle?" I gave this some thought and ran a few (failed) tests before working with the following design. I've made a lot of heart candles in the past, including gel candles with hearts inside or pressed against the glass; sand candles with layers of hearts; heart-topped cupcakes; and heart-shaped candles; but never one with a heart hidden within!


The following candle (pics below) starts off looking similar to this one ... until the melt pool starts to form out to the edges when a heart outline appears. The candles being tested are in 4.5 and 5.5 ounce recycled, painted tins.






An early test burn, although the wax looks yellow, it actually turned pink.







Another test burn at three hours when the heart was beginning to show ...





This is the same candle at the 4-hour mark ...


These are photos showing another test candle.


This is how it looked after a little less than an hour, then two+ hours ...











Around the three hour mark, the heart was almost fully visible ...





By four hours the heart's fully present and beginning to melt into the wax, turning it pink for the remainder of its time; this size candle was 4.5 ounces and burned for about eleven hours.







As I explore some other heart design candles, there'll be shared on this page!






To be available sometime in the future ...
