The Art of Handpoured Jar Candles

A Slow Craft in a Fast World

In an age of mass production, there's something deeply comforting about handmade goods—especially when they flicker warmly on your windowsill. Handpoured jar candles are more than just beautiful home décor—they’re a labour of love. Each candle tells a story, created with care, intention, and creativity that no factory line can replicate.

At The Cottage Flame Co.™, we believe in preserving the art of slow living, and our handcrafted candles reflect just that.

What Does “Handpoured” Actually Mean?

“Handpoured” refers to the method of manually melting wax and pouring it into jars, rather than relying on industrial machinery. This allows the maker full control over:

Temperature precision (essential for smooth texture and optimal burn)

Fragrance blending for a consistent scent throw

Quality checking every single candle before it’s sealed and labelled

In short, hand-poured candles are candles with a heart. ❤️

The Beauty of Jar Candles

Why are jar candles such a timeless favourite?

🏡 Safe and Stylish: No need for a separate candle holder—just light and enjoy.

♻️ Reusable Jars: Once your candle is finished, upcycle the jar as a plant pot, pen holder, or spice jar.

🌿 Eco-Conscious Choices: We use natural waxes like soy and coconut, which are biodegradable and clean-burning.

Plus, our jars are designed to complement every home style—from rustic charm to modern minimalism.

How to Get the Most from Your Candle

To enjoy your candle to the fullest:

Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn.

Let the wax pool reach the jar’s edges on the first burn to prevent tunnelling.

Burn in 2–4 hour sessions to extend life and scent throw.

A little care makes your candle last longer—and your space smells divine for days.

Final Glow

Hand-poured jar candles are more than just wax and wick. They’re rituals, memories, and pieces of art. At The Cottage Flame Co.™, we invite you to slow down, light a flame, and savour the stillness.
