I think the people who do it at the dickens fair by me learned how to do it in Seattle or might have spend time up there. I wonder if it’s the same people. They always had a crowd watching it’s just really cool. And they do it in like 10-15 min max before the wax gets too cold.

It’s an amazing art and if I remember correctly from speaking to then years ago they said it’s a dying art they are trying to preserve. They do it all by hand with precision. This is not the exact retailer I bought mine from but I found a video on YouTube that shows exactly how it was done when I saw it live. It was a family who made the ones I got and their young daughters where doing it like freaking pros. It was so impressive and mesmerizing.

These are cool I have a couple of them and I got them a Dickens fair where the artists were creating them right in front of you as a demo and it is so cool to watch as they dip, layer, cut and twist them into the shapes. They last a super long time too and the center burns down and once it’s gone you can put the outer part over a tea candle and keep using it.

Seconding this. As a 4’11 women I check kids section and petites section when I can’t find what I need or get things tailored.
