Purple Skull Candle Day of the Dead

By Aida Martinez, this colorful sugar skull-inspired candle is decorated in multicolor floral motifs. She works in paraffin and carefully paints the image by hand. Perfect for décor or display, its waxed wick lets it burn as a functioning candle. Sugar skull or calavera candles are a traditional craft from Guanajuato, Mexico and are typically used as decoration for Dia Los Muertos offerings.
