DIY Hack – Bendy Candles From Store Bought Candles

November 16, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

If you’re looking for a fun and creative way to spice up your home decor, look no further than bendy candles. These quirky candles have become a huge trend on TikTok, thanks to their unique and eye-catching design. But did you know that you don’t have to make your own candles from scratch to get in on the trend?

With just a few simple steps, you can easily transform a thick store-bought candle into a bendy masterpiece. In this video tutorial, we’ll show you how to turn a plain straight candle into a decorative bendy candle that will impress all your friends.

All you need is a thick candle, a hair dryer, and a little bit of patience. Start by heating up the candle with the hair dryer, making sure to focus the heat on the part you want to bend. Once the wax is soft and pliable, gently bend it into the desired shape, holding it in place until it cools and hardens.

Repeat this process with different sections of the candle, creating twists and turns to achieve the bendy effect. You can even experiment with different colors and sizes of candles to create a unique and personalized look.

So if you’re looking to jump on the bendy candle trend, don’t waste your time making candles from scratch. With this simple hack, you can create your own decorative bendy candles in no time. So grab a candle, a hair dryer, and let’s get twisting!
