66 Bizarre Candle Creations

From Demonic Cat Candles to Dark Humor Candles

— July 24, 2014 — Art & Design
This collection of bizarre candle creations is chock full of creative ways to keep this traditional piece of home decor interesting. Although often used only in emergency situations, especially when it comes to masking odd scents and not just lighting homes when there are power outages, candles are being given new life in strange ways.

Whether that means revealing a scary sculpture as the wax melts away or emitting an odd scent inspired by terrible events such as divorces and failing exams, these bizarre candle creations will be displayed proudly by the owners. After all, they are great ice breakers for guests. Better yet, these bizarre candle creations would make great gifts for those who enjoy a good laugh.
