Behind the Flame: How Flatyz Handcrafted Candles Are Made

June 16, 2025

In a world of mass production, there's something special about a product made by hand. At Flatyz, we believe that candles should do more than just light a room - they should tell a story, celebrate craftsmanship, and bring a sense of beauty to everyday moments.

So, what goes into making a Flatyz handcrafted candle? Let us take you behind the flame.

Step 1: Stringing the Frames

Every candle begins with a square wooden frame strung with organic cotton wicks. This structure forms the foundation for our signature flat candle shape and ensures an even, clean burn.

Step 2: Preparing the Wax

We carefully formulate the paraffin mass at just the right temperature to achieve the perfect consistency for pouring. This attention to detail ensures each candle burns safely and evenly.

Step 3: Pouring and Shaving

The heated wax is hand-poured into the prepared frames, forming a smooth, flat canvas. Once cooled, each candle is shaved and refined by hand to ensure clean edges and an even surface - ready for decorating.

Step 4: Dipping for Finish

Each candle is then dipped to achieve a refined, sealed surface. This process adds durability and a beautiful finish to the base structure.

Step 5: Hand-Decorating Each Candle

This is where the magic happens. Our artisans hand-paint or screen-print each candle with unique designs - from seasonal themes and florals to fine art reproductions and Judaica. No two candles are exactly alike, making every Flatyz piece a miniature work of art.

Step 6: Assembling the Display

Once decorated, the candle is paired with a sleek metal stand, allowing it to be displayed upright. This makes our candles not only functional but also ready-to-display straight out of the box.

Step 7: Packaging with Care

Every Flatyz candle is individually packaged by hand to ensure it arrives safely and beautifully presented. Our slim packaging is gift-ready, space-efficient, and perfect for retail or shipping.
