THE Candle Handle Story
Our Story
The Wax-Free Solution Every Candlelight Service Deserves
For over thirty years, I’ve led candlelight services filled with beauty, reverence—and, unfortunately, hot wax. Year after year, I found myself cleaning wax off floors, carpets, pews, and clothing long after the service ended. I kept thinking, there has to be a better way.
I tried every candle holder I could find. Some caught the wax… sort of. Others were uncomfortable, flimsy, or just plain messy. Nothing worked the way it should. That’s when I decided to create something that did.
Designed for Real Churches, by Someone Who Knows the Struggle
When I set out to design THE Candle Handle, I had a simple mission: to make candlelight services safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable for everyone. It had to:
- Catch every drip of wax when held upright
- Be comfortable enough to hold through an entire service
- Fit a wide range of candle sizes
- Be reusable, durable, and easy to clean
- Resist heat and flames
- Look as beautiful as the moment it’s used
And that’s exactly what THE Candle Handle does.
Why It Works
Children and adults alike tend to tilt their candles—and that’s where the mess begins. The Candle Handle’s 3½-inch bowl and raised rim are designed to catch wax completely, with no holes or gaps for leaks.
Its sturdy, gently tapered handle (just over an inch thick) fits naturally in the hand—no pinching, no discomfort. Candles from ⅜" to ¾" fit snugly and stay upright, whether long or short.
After the service, cleanup is quick and easy. Simply scrape out cooled wax, soak in hot water, and wipe clean. Many churches have used the same Candle Handles for years without a single replacement.
Built to Last. Made to Impress.
Crafted from solid, fire-resistant plastic, THE Candle Handle isn’t flimsy—it’s built for years of reverent use. And yes—it looks great too.
Once you experience a candlelight service without the burns, the drips, or the cleanup, you’ll understand why we call it THE Candle Handle—the ultimate candle holder for churches everywhere.
"Udeniably the best candle holder ever invented. It keeps your hands—and your congregation’s hands—wax-free during services… After all, church memories should be sweet, not stinging.”
— Rev. Benjamin Johnson
