A good taper doesn't need to be serious. The Folly Taper Candle was born out of curiosity and joy found when we just allow ourselves to dabble. Each Folly taper candle is unique with variations in color-washing -- making each set truly one of a kind.
Each pair is hand-dipped the traditional way, up to 20 times in filtered molten beeswax, layer by layer, until the candle comes out smooth and even. Each one burns cleanly for about 10 hours, with a warm glow of natural beeswax and a subtle sweet scent that comes from the wax itself.
Our beeswax comes from small-scale beekeepers and is ethically sourced. We don't use paraffin, chemicals, or synthetic dyes. We only use non-toxic, eco-friendly dye.
