The creator showcases her grandmother's massive, 42-year-old candle sculpture, which is made from layers of melted wax from other candles. She explains the family tradition and then, as part of a partnership with the brand Loewe, demonstrates the process of adding a new orange candle to the top. The process involves using a heated potato ricer to melt the wax on both surfaces to ensure they stick together before lighting the new candle.

This is my grandma's candle, and she's been adding candles to the top of this to make it bigger and bigger for forty two years. We've partnered with Loewe today, and they sent us this beautiful orange candle. My grandma gets her potato ricer hot on the stove, and then we make sure the wax is melted on both pieces in order for them to stick together when it dries. Here we are lighting it, and it's a perfect addition to her candle.
