Have you ever wondered why some flower candles look like plastic replicas, while others look like real flowers that you want to put in a vase with water? The secret lies not only in the talent of the master, but also in the technology of creation.
Today I will reveal the cards and tell you about my patented technology — wax paper.
What is wax paper?
These are the thinnest, most flexible and sticky wax sheets. They are about the size of an A4 sheet, but for wax, believe me, this is a large size.
Advantages of wax paper:
1. Sheet quality: They are incredibly thin, almost transparent in the light, but at the same time durable.
2. Flexibility and stickiness: The leaves bend like living petals, and — most importantly — they stick on their own! We just apply petal to petal, and they connect effortlessly.
3. Savings: Making wax paper does not require the purchase of expensive equipment.
4. Speed: The technology allows you to prepare hundreds of sheets in a short time.
5. Scalability: You make more sheets per unit of time, which means you collect more candles and earn more.

Wax paper vs the Korean method
Many craftsmen use the so-called "Korean wax rolling method". Let's look at the difference and what's better.
Criteria
The Korean method
Wax Paper
Creation method
It is created by rolling through a paste machine
Created by casting
Work speed
To speed up work, you need to buy an expensive typewriter or work manually, which is physically difficult.
There are ways to increase the blank number of sheets per unit of time (I show this in the course)
Wax sheet format
The wax is rolled out in narrow strips, so we get a smaller volume per unit of time.
You get a full-fledged sheet format, almost like A4
Adjusting the thickness of the sheets
It is quite difficult to adjust the thickness, the wax breaks more often, or it does not roll thinly.
You can easily adjust the thickness for tasks, in summer you can make the sheets thinner, in winter tighter.

Imagine the process of creating the legendary Sarah Bernhardt peony
We take sheets of white wax paper. Due to their stickiness, assembly turns into meditation. We form a lush center, apply layer after layer, and each petal falls as naturally as nature created it. You can create absolutely any flower from wax paper and realize any idea.

Flower candle in 60 minutes
Let's look at the manufacturing time of flower candles using the example of a peony.
Each peony candle is created from scratch in exactly 60 minutes. The process includes 5 stages: from casting wax sheets, cutting petals from them, giving them a natural relief and coloring to assembling the bud.
Let's look at the steps in detail.
for a peony candle, you need 4 sheets of wax paper. They will take 10 minutes to create.
another 10 minutes will be spent on cutting and tinting the petals (70 pieces)
+20 minutes to create a realistic relief in a weiner (70 petals)
the next stage is the creation of pistils and stamens - 10 minutes. And the final stage of bud assembly is 10 minutes.
It takes 1 hour to create one peony candle. High detail takes time, so the daily limit of the wizard is about 7 buds.
But this is subject to a well-rounded hand and experience. Of course, during the training period, it will take more time to create one candle.

Wax paper technology is protected by a registered patent
Sometimes people ask me, "Can I learn this by myself?" I'll say this: if it was too easy, I wouldn't have been granted a government patent.
This method is the result of hundreds of experiments and a step—by-step combination of the nuances of sheet manufacturing. The patent confirms the uniqueness and novelty of the approach. If you have seen how the craftsmen simply pour wax into a silicone mat and take out a sheet, you should know that this is not the case. My method is more difficult to develop, but it is much more interesting and effective to work with.

Is it enough to be able to make only wax paper?
For a start, yes. You can make anything out of it. But to become an expert of the highest category, you need something more.
Real candle floristry is a combination of techniques. It is important to be able to create not only petals, but also realistic pistils, stems, work with color reproduction and understand the botanical structure of a flower. It is these details that affect the quality, beauty, and, importantly, the burning time of the candle. Gorenje During the course, I teach you all these subtleties and 6 techniques for creating flower candles, turning you into a real "nerd" in the world of wax.
