Will it Candle?

A completely unnecessary candle experiment

Will It Candle?

Jason goes to thrift shops, finds cool things, random things and weird things, turns them into candles, and sees what happens.

Newest experiment

Sisters Mug

VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

A “Sisters by chance, friends by choice” mug seemed like a perfectly reasonable thing to turn into a candle.

The banana pudding fragrance was also reasonable.

Making tiny yellow wax bananas, burying them throughout the candle, and then piling even more bananas on top because Chef Ru said there weren’t enough was less reasonable.

This one has a destination. It’s heading to Tara, whose longstanding banana pudding connection with Anna is the reason this experiment exists in the first place.

Previous Experiments

Some worked. Some absolutely did not. All of them seemed like a reasonable idea at the time.

VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Giant Pineapple

Six candles' worth of wax, three wicks, six layers, tiny wax pineapples and one increasingly complicated relationship with the garage refrigerator.

The pineapple has left the building. It went to a good home where it will be cared for and set ablaze. Watch the full experiment →
VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Enrique Mug

A 1997 Enrique Iglesias tour mug, pink wax and Pink Lemonade fragrance. Collector's item before. Candle after.

This one has left the building. The Enrique candle is no longer for sale. Shop candles that still are →
VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Naughty Owl Mug

An aggressively questionable owl mug, S'mores fragrance and orange wax. Somehow, the owl became a perfectly respectable candle.

Retired experiment. This owl has flown the coop. See what is on the menu now →
VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Egg Holder?

Six wicks, purple wax and Vanilla Buttercream Crunch fragrance. We are still not entirely sure what the vessel was supposed to be.

No longer available. Whatever this thing was, its candle career is over. Shop The Hangry Menu →
VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Kirkland Peaches Jar

A giant Kirkland peaches jar became a one-of-a-kind Peach candle using roughly two and a half normal candle recipes.

This one has left the building. It is no longer for sale. Probably for the best. Shop candles that still are →
VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Fancy Soup Dish

A thrift-store soup dish with a funky handle became a green Rosemary Sage candle. Strange vessel. Surprisingly respectable candle.

Retired experiment. This one is no longer for sale. See what is on the menu now →
VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Cherry Pie Plate

Four wicks. Red wax. Cherry fragrance. Roughly four normal candles' worth of wax in one delightfully unnecessary pie plate.

No longer on the menu. The pie candle has moved on. Shop The Hangry Menu →
VERDICT: IT DID NOT CANDLE.

Green Chalice

Green chalice. Fruity cereal fragrance. High hopes. The chalice had other plans.

VERDICT: IT CANDLED.

Hopscotch Drink Can

A Hopscotch drink can got the full candle treatment. Because an empty can is apparently a challenge.

Looking for something slightly less experimental?

These candles actually made the menu.

Food-inspired candles. Hand-poured in small batches. Packaged like something from the pantry.
