Some candles are made to smell nice…
this one looks like it might have a spell attached to it. 🩸🧙🏼‍♀️😂

Ad | NIIMBOT

If you’re going to make a candle called Bloody Spell, the label better look like it belongs in a witch’s cabinet. 🖤✨

And honestly… what could fit better than this black label with the golden border?! 🖤💛

For this one, I used the NIIMBOT M2 to create the label — and this is exactly why I love using it for my candles. You’re really not limited to one boring label style. 👀

Gold, silver, black, white, red, blue, green… there are so many possibilities to play around with and create completely different looks depending on the candle. ✨

And with Halloween candles, the label is basically part of the spell. 😂🧙🏼‍♀️🩸

Now tell me…
would you dare to light the Bloody Spell? 👀🩸

POV: You accidentally invited a whole bunch of little ghosts into your home… and now they refuse to leave. 😂👻

Meet Boo & his little ghost squad. 🤍
The best part? I gave every single ghost a slightly different face because apparently even tiny wax ghosts need their own personalities. 😂

Some look cute.
Some look suspicious.
And one of them definitely knows something we don’t. 👀👻

But honestly… which little ghost would be your favourite? Mine might be the tiny one in the front. 🥹🤍

✨ PRO TIP ✨
I almost always use Candle Pens to add the tiniest details to my candles — like the little black ghost faces here. 🖊️🕯️

They’re wax-based pens made specifically for candles, and they’re such an easy way to make your wax figures look 10x cuter and more detailed. You can find them online (Amazon has tons of options) and sometimes even in local craft stores.

And you really don’t need anything fancy to create this diagonal two-colour effect!

All you need is:
🕯️ a glass
📦 a small box / holder
or even a Tesa tape roll
✨ and your wax!

Just place your glass at an angle, secure it so it stays in position, and pour your first layer. Once it has set, straighten the glass and pour the second colour.

BUT: Always preheat your glass beforehand to help reduce frosting and get a smoother finish. 🤍

And suddenly… you have a tiny haunted little world in a glass. 👻🎃

So… which ghost is YOUR Boo? 👀👇🏼

✨ ENCHANTED WOODS ✨

POV: Autumn has entered its magical era… 🍂🌲✨

There’s just something about this time of year.
The colours get warmer, the days get cozier, and suddenly everything feels a little more… enchanted. 🍄✨

So obviously, I had to turn that feeling into a candle. 😂

I wanted this one to feel like a tiny enchanted forest — filled with pumpkins, mushrooms, little leaves and the cutest little hedgehogs. 🦔🎃🍄

And honestly… I think I might want to move in. 😂🌲

✨ PRO TIP ✨

One of my favourite ways to add tiny details to my wax figures is using Candle Pens! 🖊️🕯️

They’re basically wax-based candle paints that you can use to paint and decorate your wax creations. The ones I use contain beeswax, and you can even layer and mix the colours to create your own shades. 🤎💚

I use them for everything from tiny leaves and pumpkins to little faces and other details — they make such a huge difference!

You can find them on common online platforms, and here in Germany I’ve even spotted them at Müller. You don’t need every single colour either — just mix the ones you have and create your own. 🎨✨

Because apparently I’m now at the stage where even my candle decorations need their own tiny colour palette. 😂

So… would you take a walk through the Enchanted Woods? 🌲🍄✨

🎃 FALL CANDLE DIY 🎃

POV: You put three pumpkins in a mold and somehow ended up with the cutest little autumn candle collection. 😂🎃🍂

I mean… look at them. 🥹🤎
Three different pumpkins, three autumn colours and one very easy DIY.

For these, I used rapeseed wax in three different shades and simply poured each colour into a silicone mold.

And because apparently pumpkins need a little ✨glam✨ too…
I added some gold candle colour to the details. 👀✨

And yes — it’s actually candle colour, so it can safely burn together with the candle. 🔥✨
You can find similar candle colours on Amazon and other candle-making shops.

🎨 PRO TIP

Always warm up your silicone molds before pouring!

I usually use a heat gun or warm the molds gently in the oven.

When the mold is warm, the wax cools more evenly against the surface and you get that beautiful glossy finish instead of a dull, matte look. ✨

And then just let them fully set, unmold them…

and voilà — tiny pumpkin perfection. 🎃

Honestly, this is one of those DIYs that looks way more complicated than it actually is. 😂

Would you make these for your autumn decor? 🍂🕯️

100% wax. 0% calories. 100% pumpkin season. 🎃🤎

EPISODE 3 | THE FROG PRINCE ✨🐸

I kissed a frog… and somehow ended up making an entire candle. 😂🐸💋

✨ FAIRYTALE CANDLES — EPISODE 3 ✨
THE FROG PRINCE 👑🐸

Once upon a time, there was a frog…
a princess…
an enchanted garden…
and one very important kiss. 💋✨

And apparently, I decided that wasn’t enough — so I turned the whole fairytale into a candle. 😂

For this one, I really gave EVERYTHING.
And I mean that quite literally… because I even managed to burn myself on my equipment while making it. 🥲🤡🔥

But the biggest challenge?
THE COLOURS. 💛💚

I spent almost an entire week experimenting with the yellow and green tones because I wanted to get that very specific Disney-inspired colour combination just right.

That soft, slightly muted yellow.
That dreamy yellow-green.
Those earthy, magical garden tones. 🌿🌼✨

I really hope I managed to capture that feeling — because I wanted this candle to look like it had stepped straight out of a fairytale. 🥹

And the little details… the flowers, leaves, roses, the frog prince, the princess… I honestly put so much love into every single part of it.

🎨 PRO TIP: MIX YOUR COLOURS!

Don’t be afraid to mix your wax colours to get exactly the shade you’re looking for.

For this candle, I mixed yellow + brown and green + brown quite a lot.

Adding a little brown is such an easy way to make a colour softer, more muted and more earthy — which was exactly what I needed for this fairytale aesthetic. 🤎🌿

Want your colours to look brighter and more vibrant?
Try adding a little red or orange instead. ❤️🧡

Sometimes the perfect colour isn’t sitting in the bottle…
you just have to create it yourself. ✨

And finally…

“Kiss me, I’m the Prince.” 👑🐸💋

So… what do you think?
Did I manage to capture the fairytale feeling? 🥹💚💛

And most importantly…

Would you kiss him? 😂🐸💋

Tell me what you want to see for EPISODE 4 👀✨

🍁🎃 POV: You put pumpkin season AND maple syrup into one candle. 🤎

Because apparently one autumn obsession at a time just wasn’t enough. 😂🍂

I wanted something that looks like the ultimate pumpkin maple dessert — creamy pudding, glossy maple syrup and tiny little pumpkins on top. 🎃🍁

And honestly… this might be one of those candles where I have to remind myself:

IT’S WAX. NOT DESSERT. 😂

The maple topping is made with Jelly Wax, and I absolutely love using it for syrup effects. Its transparent, glossy texture gives you that realistic „sticky maple syrup“ look, especially when you add the right shades of brown.

For this one, I used Salted Caramel + a little brown to get that warm maple colour. 🍁🤎

🎃 PRO TIP: Your pumpkins might need a little extra heat resistance!

I always make my little pumpkin decorations from rapeseed wax because it has a higher melting point and holds its shape much better when I pour Jelly Wax around them.

And this is REALLY important because Jelly Wax is poured very hot — around 85–90°C. 🔥

If you use a wax with a much lower melting point, like some types of soy wax, your cute little pumpkins can start melting when the hot Jelly Wax hits them.

And nobody asked for pumpkin soup. 😂🎃

So always check the melting point of the wax you’re using and choose a decorative wax that can handle the temperature of your Jelly Wax.

✨ Jelly Wax = perfect for that glossy, transparent syrup effect.
🎃 Rapeseed wax = perfect for keeping those little pumpkins intact.

And then you get this:

100% wax. 0% calories. 100% autumn. 🍁🎃🤎

Would you mistake this for an actual dessert at first glance? 👀😂

🎃🧡 LET’S JAM IT UP. 🧡🎃

What could possibly be more autumn than pumpkin jam?! 🍂😂

I wanted to bottle up all those cozy fall vibes — so naturally, I turned them into a candle. 😂
Tiny pumpkins, glossy jelly wax and the cutest little autumn dessert… I honestly don’t know if I want to burn it or put it on toast. 🎃🍯

🎃 PRO TIP: Choosing the right wax

When I make little wax decorations that are going to be surrounded by Jelly Wax, I always prefer using rapeseed wax or another wax with a higher melting point.

Why? 👀

Jelly Wax is poured at a much higher temperature than some softer waxes. If your little pumpkins are made from a wax with a lower melting point, they can start melting as soon as you pour the Jelly Wax around them — and trust me, you don’t want your cute pumpkins turning into pumpkin soup. 😂🎃

So make sure your decorative wax has a higher melting point than the temperature you’re pouring the Jelly Wax at. This helps your little decorations keep their shape while everything sets. ✨

And then comes the easiest part:

Light it. 🕯️🎃

Because apparently I needed a pumpkin jam that lasts longer than an actual jar. 😂

Would you spread this on toast… or light it instead? 👀🍂

🤎 NOUgat about this candle… because I couldn’t stop at one. 😂🍫

Okay, I might have taken my love for nougat a little too seriously. 🤎

Creamy nougat, whipped “cream”, chocolate pieces, little hearts and all the cozy vibes — basically everything I want in a dessert… except this one comes with 0% calories. 😂

And yes, I know what you’re thinking:

“Is this actually a candle?”

I promise it is.
Please don’t eat it. 😂🕯️

🔥 PRO TIP: Pouring two layers without frosting

If you’re making a candle with two wax layers in a glass container, there’s a little trick that can make a big difference:

Before pouring the second layer, gently warm up the glass again with a heat gun.

But don’t stop there! I also like to lightly warm the very top of the first wax layer. This helps the two layers bond together instead of simply sitting on top of each other.

Then pour your second layer while everything is still slightly warm. 🤎

✨ Warm glass + gently warmed wax surface = a much smoother transition between the layers.

And then comes the best part: decorating it with all the little chocolatey details. 🍫🤎

Because apparently making candles that look like dessert wasn’t enough…
Now they also have to look good enough to eat. 😂

Would you fall for this one or would you immediately try to take a bite? 👀🍫

🍂🤎 POV: Autumn just turned your favourite cocktail into a candle. 🍫🎃

Slowly but surely… cozy season is here. 🥹🍂
Cooler days, warm sweaters, candles everywhere and obviously… chocolate. Because what would autumn be without chocolate? 🤎😂

So I made the perfect little autumn drink — creamy whipped “cream”, chocolate, tiny pumpkins and ALL the cozy vibes. 🎃🍫☕️

And honestly… I think this might be my favourite way to serve a cocktail. 😂
No hangover. Just vibes.

But I had to give this one a little extra something at the end. 🎀

🎀 LITTLE GIFT-WRAPPING HACK:

Did you know you can use a label printer to personalize your own gift ribbons?

I used my NIIMBOT A1 to print the little text directly onto the ribbon and turned it into a personalized bow. And I LOVE how much this tiny detail elevates the whole gift. 🥹🤎

You could add someone’s name, Congratulations, Happy Birthday, Thank You — literally anything you want.

Because imagine showing up at someone’s house with THIS and a little personalized ribbon with their name on it?!
Tell me you wouldn’t be ridiculously happy. 😂🎀

This is not a sponsored video — I simply use my NIIMBOT A1 all the time and genuinely love what it adds to my handmade gifts. 🤎

Now tell me… would you keep this one for yourself or bring it as a gift? 👀🍂

EPISODE 2 | BEAUTY AND THE BEAST 🌹

I think we all know this story… 🌹✨

A girl. A beast. An enchanted castle. And a single rose counting down the time. 🌹🥀

But one of the things I’ve always loved most about this fairytale is the lesson behind it: beauty isn’t always what you see on the outside. 🤎

Because sometimes the most beautiful things are hidden beneath the surface… and honestly, I think Disney was teaching us that long before we even realized it. 🥹✨

For this candle, I wanted to capture that warm, enchanted castle feeling — earthy browns, deep red roses, golden details and that soft, dreamy yellow that just had to be there. 🌹✨

Pro tip: Always test your wax colours before making the actual candle! 🫶🏼
Pour a tiny amount into a small flower, leaf or other mould, let it fully harden and see what colour you actually get.

And especially when making candle whipped cream, remember: it will always look lighter than the same colour poured as solid wax! So I usually go one shade darker when mixing it. 🤎

For the golden details, I used beeswax candle colour, so they can burn safely along with the candle. ✨

And voilà… The Beauty Within the Beast. 🌹🤎

Now tell me… which fairytale should become Episode 3? 👀✨
I already have a few in mind… 🫣🕯️
