   I did not think there was a special kind of candle, Ive seen it done with any skinny ordinary candle, put it in the bottle, light it, watch the wax drip onto bottle.

   This book will tell you how to make candles of all kinds, including drip candles:

   You can get it super cheap on half.com, or check for it in your library:

   I think the trick is in taking the wick bigger than the size of the candle requires, that way it will melt more wax than it can burn.
   I have done it by accident, but never on purpose, so I do not know by how much you should over-size.
   If the wick is not in the middle of the candle it will also drip, but not all around.
   Molding or dipping both will work with both systems.
   Wax that melts at the lowest heat will be more likely to run, and do less damage because it will cool down fast too.

   super easy, dip layers of different colors on your candle, plain old wax, you want your colors to be strong, most purchased candles are white with color on the outside, you want these to be color all the way through.

   Why make them when you can get them for about a dollar a piece at this site?
