For those who don’t know what this candle is, you may be wondering, what exactly is it? No matter if you are a Disney classic movie connoisseur or unknowing of these, I’m sure we’re all thinking the same: how do you get one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, obtaining a black flame candle isn’t as simple as it should be. In fact, there are no actual candles that can produce a black flame, as cool as they are. While that’s a complete let down to those classic Disney movie lovers, there are ways that you can create your own black flame candle, if you’re feeling crafty. While you can’t buy a candle with a black flame, though, there is some science behind creating a black flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we can’t have the actual black flame candle in our home, we are able to bring the black flame candle into our home in a more crafty way. For those of you who have no clue what the black flame candle is, don’t fret, because by the end of this post, I’ll have you wishing these candles were real, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sanderson Sisters are most likely dominating your Disney Channel experience with commercials promising a spooky experience filled with witches and magic and Halloween night. Picture for a moment that you’re sitting in your local theater with your bucket of popcorn, watching the premiere of Hocus Pocus after the anticipation from all of these commercials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re a child as you sit and watch this movie unfold, you may be fearing the resurrection of the Sanderson Sisters and hoping that Max, a virgin, doesn’t light the black flame candle. Regardless of your hopes and fears, Max lights the candle, and the orange flame ignites before turning black, finishing off a spell created by Winifred Sanderson, the head of the sister trio, to bring them back from the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the spooky backstory, and possible fuel for childhood nightmares, the black flame candle has remained an icon and there’s no question as to why. Any ’80s and ’90s children that grew up watching this movie every year is probably now an adult wishing they were able to have their own black flame candle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This famous candle is a pillar candle with drawings embedded on the sides, including the drawing of the Sanderson Sisters’ death. The candle looks completely normal until it’s lit. What starts as a normal, yellow-orange flame almost immediately turns black with an orange halo around it. The look of this candle is perfect for any spooky Halloween aesthetic. The question still remains, though, how can you get one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, so we’ve already established that getting a black flame candle isn’t as easy as just going to the store and buying one. Unfortunately, any candle you buy will only have the standard yellow-orange flame. There are plenty of Etsy shops that offer their own versions of the black flame candle and there are even black colored candles that you can find, but none of them are going to have an actual black flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you truly want a black flame candle, you’re going to have to make it yourself, which may sound daunting, but it’s easier than you may think. You’ll only need a few items, the most important being a battery powered pillar candle<\/a>, preferably one that looks like it’s been used before. We’ll take this step by step to make this project even easier. For the first step, you’ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This part can be kind of tricky, so it’s best to take your time with it. Once you figure out what kind of graphic you want to use for your candle, it’s time to print it out onto the tissue paper. You can’t just put tissue paper into your printer and expect it to print, so you’ll want to cut the tissue paper to be about a half inch smaller than a piece of printer paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Making sure your tissue paper is free of wrinkles (iron it with a warm iron if you need to), carefully tape it to a sheet of printer paper. Then, you can run it through the printer and you’ll end up with your graphic printed onto the tissue paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this next part, you’re going to need the following materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the Black Flame Candle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
