Mushroom Candles

I just got the coolest mushroom candles at tha flea market and I want to learn how to make them. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

I'm not sure how mushroom candles are made. I have a little tie dye looking mushroom candle,had it for about 6 years now...and I have often wondered if it was hand shaped or if it was made with a mold. You may try doing a search online.

 

I have one too... Mine i cant tell is hand shapped.. there are finger prints all over it

 

what if....

u found lil tiny mushrooms in yer yard, and put them in a tall glass jar, along with long blades of grass, and pouring wax on top..

hmm... what about flowers! oo o oooo!

 

You could make a mold. Molds seem complicated, but they really aren't once you learn how.

 

I think that the mushrooms may wilt down with the weight of the wax. I have tried every way I could think of to preserve those wild mushrooms and nothing seems to work. If anyone knew a way to make candles with them though,that would be great.

 

Some, but not all mushrooms keep their shape fairly well if you dry them in a dehydrating machine. That's what I do with small morels for both cooking and craft purposes. I might try using wax with that now, actually.

 

you'd probably have to use a mushroom shaped mold... good luck finding one
