Welcome to Candles by Welsh, where passion and craftsmanship come together to create beautifully handcrafted coconut soy wax candles. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, we’ve been proudly making candles for over three years, bringing warmth, comfort, and elegance to homes across the country.

Our journey began with a spark of inspiration—a candle-making video online that captured the joy of crafting something with your own hands. As a lifelong lover of arts and crafts, I knew I had to give it a try. What started as a fun experiment quickly became a passion, and Candles by Welsh was born.

Each of our candles is lovingly made using eco-friendly coconut soy wax, known for its clean burn and long-lasting fragrance. We pair this with natural wooden wicks for a unique crackling effect that adds a cozy ambiance to any space.

Our mission is to create candles that not only smell amazing but also bring a touch of artistry and sustainability into your home. Whether you’re relaxing after a long day, setting the mood for a special occasion, or giving the perfect gift, our candles are designed to make every moment more memorable.

Thank you for supporting our small business and sharing in the joy of handmade candles. We can’t wait to light up your world!

Why Coconut Soy Wax?

  • Clean Burning: Produces minimal soot, keeping your air cleaner and reducing stains on walls or candle jars.
  • Longer Burn Time: Coconut soy wax burns slower than paraffin or other waxes, giving you more hours of enjoyment from each candle.
  • Superior Scent Throw: Holds and releases fragrance more effectively, offering a stronger cold throw (unlit) and hot throw (when burning).
  • Non-Toxic: Free from harmful chemicals like paraffin, phthalates, and parabens, making it safe for your home and family.
  • Smooth, Creamy Appearance: Provides a luxurious, creamy finish, enhancing the aesthetic of your candles.

Candle Care Tips

Get the most out of your candle by taking care of it properly.

  • Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn.
  • Let the wax melt to the edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling.
  • Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Always place it on a heat-resistant surface and out of reach of pets and children.
