Self-assembled candles made by charging gelatinous particles of a candle making material round a vertically aligned wick in a suitable glass vessel, the wick having dimensions such that the heat evolved by burning melts the particles in a defined limited zone round the wick. Procedure for making ornamental candles from a candle-making kit comprises charging small pieces (1) of an optionally colored candle-making material with a gelatinous consistency into a glass or similar container (2) which contains one or more vertically aligned wicks (3), the dimensions of the wick (3) being selected such that the thermal radiation from the flame (4) produced upon igniting the wick causes melting (5) of the small particles of gelatinous material in a defined limited zone (6) round the wick.
