45 Candle-Inspired Creations

From Dynamite Candles to Wonky Wicks

— August 24, 2009 — Art & Design
It seems simple to wrap a piece of string inside a wad of wax to create your standard candle, but these candle-inspired creations take it to a whole new level. These candle-inspired creations include candle holders of all types, interesting wax focused or wick focused candles and even fake candles altogether (basically just lights).

A candle can create a nice mood for many occasions and I think these candle-inspired creations would turn that into a great mood!
