The Nordic style also seduces our Parisian interiors .
Proof of this is, on the French side, Elodie's corner and Marine de Prête moi ta jacket could not do without and we understand them. More to admire than to light, these too cute candles fit like a glove on the fireplaces or in the boudoirs of the beautiful Haussmannian apartments and bring them a new smooth and reassuring breath.

The kit:
A bit of wick + natural wax + candle dye + pretty molds and you're all set for a DIY with your fingers in your nose.
The preparation :
If you have long candles , just soak them in lukewarm water to soften them and then shape them into the desired shape. Rolled up, twisted or in the shape of hearts, the wax is totally malleable and allows all kinds of fantasies. Once the desired shape is obtained, the candles must be hardened by immersing them in cold water. It's that simple !
