PSA: Candle
How It's Madeis the best show on television, and that's an objective fact. Fine, it's subjective, but my opinion remains the same. It's the (very safe-for-work) r/powerwashingporn of television in that it's boring, but comforting.
I credit it with leading me to my number one favorite way to waste time on the internet: candle carving videos.
SEE ALSO: 15 Power-Washing Porn Pics for Clean SatisfactionWhile perusing ripped How It's Madeclips on YouTube one night in 2015, I came across one that highlighted the old craft of decorative, carved candles. In the clip, a skilled candlemaker turns a blob of warm wax into the kind of candle you might find in a display case in your aunt's living room. In just a few minutes, the carver carves ribbons of wax, a teeny windmill, flowers and birds. She even forms the leftover wax into candle shaped like a mushroom! It's delightful!
In Cut & Carve Candles: Beautiful Candles to Dip, Carve, Twist & Curl, author Dana Marie Brooks explains the process. At the base of every carved candle is a star-shaped wax pillar called a core candle. Between dunks in a bath of cool water, the candle is dipped in vats of clear or colored paraffin wax to create a layered design. The candles are then hung from a hook and carved with designs before the wax gets too cool. They're dipped in acrylic to seal the surface, and shipped off to enjoy a long life on someone's shelf.
I cannot say how many times I've watched these videos. I can say that they are the best way to waste a lot of time on your computer, should you wish to.

This might just be the world's safest and coolest candle.
