Dip-dye taper candles – hand-dipped neon tapers, 180 mm

Your friends are about to arrive. The table is laid. But the candle to round off the evening is still missing. That is exactly what these dip-dye taper candles in bright neon colours are for. Their hand-dipped colour gradients turn a plain table into a cheerful setting. You light them and the light turns warm. The colours bring a good mood to the table.

What changes for you

• With hand-dipped gradients in neon yellow, neon green, neon orange or neon pink, your laid table needs no other decoration. The candles are what everyone looks at.
• You can enjoy a whole evening of candlelight in one go. Each candle burns for around 8 hours.
• You can relax at the table without a candle scent overpowering your food. The candles burn odour-free and with little soot.
• No two of your candles will be the same. Each one is decorated by hand with coloured wax, so every candle is one of a kind.
• There is little to clean up afterwards. The highly refined paraffin wax burns without leaving residue.

Why these dinner candles make a difference every day

A candle changes the mood in a room faster than any other decoration. The light becomes softer. Everyone moves a little closer. The moment feels like it matters. The neon gradients look playful and modern. Even a simply laid table looks cheerful. You get the feeling that you made an effort – even if all you did was light a candle.

Material & finish

The taper candles are made of highly refined paraffin wax. This lets them burn particularly bright, very steadily and without residue. There is no film of soot on walls or lanterns. The 100 % cotton wick gives an even flame. Each candle is carefully decorated by hand with coloured waxes in dip-dye style. Small differences in the colour gradient are therefore not a flaw. They make each piece one of a kind. You can see the careful finish as soon as you unpack them – and later in the steady, even flame.

How to use the dinner candles

• At dinner with friends: put two candles in holders for taper candles. Your table looks festive before the first plate is served.
• As birthday table decoration: match the neon colours to your napkins or garlands. The whole table looks like it belongs together.
• Advent with a difference: use the taper candles on your Advent wreath instead of classic red. Your wreath gets a modern, cheerful twist.
• In arrangements and lanterns: use one candle as a colourful centrepiece. The whole arrangement instantly looks more lively.
• Our tip for an even burn: Trim the wick to approx. 5–10 mm before each lighting. Protect the flame from draughts. Keep at least 10 cm between candles so they do not heat each other.
• Our tip for safe candlelight: Only use the candles on heat-resistant surfaces and away from sources of heat. Never leave them burning unattended, not even for a short time.

Good to know about dip-dye candles

“Dip-dye” simply means colouring by dipping. The candle is dipped by hand into coloured wax, which creates a flowing colour gradient. Since no two dips are the same, every candle is a little one-off. That also makes it a nice idea as a small present or gift.

Care & durability

There is not much you need to do. Store the taper candles in a dry, cool and dark place, away from sources of heat. This keeps the neon colours bright and the candles straight until you need them.

Frequently asked questions

Do the candles smell when they burn? No, they burn odour-free. That makes them ideal for the dining table, as no candle scent masks the food.

Do the candles produce soot? They burn with little soot. Thanks to the highly refined paraffin wax, they leave no residue and have a particularly bright, steady flame.

How long does a candle burn? Each candle burns for approx. 8 hours.

Do the candles fit standard candle holders? Yes. With a diameter of 22 mm, they fit standard candle holders and candlesticks for taper candles.

Do all the candles look the same? No. Each candle is decorated by hand with coloured wax, so the gradient always turns out a little different. That is what makes every piece one of a kind.

Wax and colour gradients are only part of it. Think of the moment when the lights are dimmed, the flames burn steadily and your guests say: “Isn’t that lovely?” Just choose your favourite colours. At Bütic you can pick from all five combinations.
