Read more for all the details on DIY Trendy Bendy Candles.
Have you seen these trendy bendy candles all over social media?! I sure have!
I am super weird about trends. For some reason, I can’t get myself to try them out when they are trending and it takes me a while to fully decide whether or not I want to do it.
When I saw these bendy candles all over I knew I wanted to hop on and do it ASAP! I thought they were the cutest simple and minimal home decor and thought they would be excellent as gifts too!
As you get to know me more as a Content Creator, you’d know how much I love DIY projects especially home décor ones. I’m super proud of anything I create and love seeing it displayed in my home.
I’ve always loved candles and light them up often. I find them as a form of self-care for me especially in the Fall/Winter months where everything I do is super cozy. I absolutely adore scented candles and pick up a stash every September that’ll last me until Spring!
I love the Fall scents as well as fruity scents as well.

HERE IS HOW TO MAKE DIY Trendy Bendy Candles:
WHERE CAN I FIND ALL THE MATERIALS?
You can easily can all the materials for this anywhere! Depending on the quality you want, you can find tapered candles from the Dollar store, Grocery store, Amazon, art store like Michael’s, and home decor shops like HomeSense and Winners!
WHAT MATERIALS DO YOU NEED FOR THIS?
The materials you’ll need for these trendy bendy candles are:
- Long Tapered Candles
- A large container that can hold warm/hot water
- Rolling Pin (optional)
- Wood Board (optional)
WHAT OTHER EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
For this project, there is no other equipment used! You bend the candles with your hands and it dries and hardens by itself so you do not need any additional equipment.
WHERE CAN I USE/PUT IT?
These bendy candles are so gorgeous and can be put anywhere as home decor! I’ve put them on my shelves, on the coffee table, mantle etc. You can even burn them as well as lot as you have a plate or large candle holder so it doesnt burn or hot wax doesn’t drip anywhere you don’t want!
HOW DO I STORE THIS?
Like candle sticks, they are quite fragile so if you’re storing it, you’ll need to store it in a hard container or box, spaced apart in a single layer. Be sure to label your box and not stack anything on top of it otherwise there is a risk of cracking.
ANY OTHER NOTES?
Lots of notes for this DIY! You’ll need to make sure that the water is warm-hot and submerged if you can. You’ll also need to work a bit fast to ensure that the candles don’t harden quickly.
If you can’t get the candles to stand, you can always shave the bottom or base so that it will be flat on the ground!
STEPS TO DO THIS DIY TRENDY BENDY CANDLES PROJECT:
Step 1: Grab a clean food container and add in the amount of candles you’d like it in.
Step 2: Fill up the container with hot water with your candles and leave to soften for about 20-25 minutes.
Step 3: Once soft, shape the candles to however you’d like. Here are some examples:
Step 4: Let harden and decorate your home.
Hope you can try and make these DIY Trendy Bendy Candles at home!
They are super easy and add such an elegant touch to your home décor. I can’t wait to try this again using other candle colours!

Lynn
