about us

Once upon a time in a world of plague. . .

This little experiment was started over a game of darts and a basement with spooky oddities. Welcome to Skull & Keel Candles. For some, waiting on the world to return to some sense of normal brought a lot of free time to us. This lead to many newfound DIY projects and blogs. While playing a game of darts with my roomate, we decided to expand our skill set. Each number closed on the game of darts was a new skill we agreed to embark upon. Learning how to make candles was my fate. With a new DIY project I set off to learn all I needed to know to not burn down the house.

Meanwhile in cleaning out old boxes I found a candle made from a used wine bottle. I had bought several of these from an artisan at a local market over the years. I decided to try my hand at cutting glass. Many many many bottles later, here we are.

We have since moved out of the spooky basement. Although we will visit on occasion. :) There is a one very furry husky named Angel and plenty of friends and family that get roped into the mischief.

About Us:

We are a small business. We make our candle containers mostly from used and discarded bottles. They get a new life as a unique upcycled reused vessel. Many of our clients have created their own containers from old bottles that have some sort of meaning to them. As part of our ?? we offer custom services. We encourage you to reuse your container. You can also turn it back into us for a second life or refill.

We use all soy wax in our candle products. Our fragrance oils are all independently tested and certified to have no Carcinagens, Reproductive, Organ or Acute Toxins. The companies we currently work with are committed to keeping a standard for health as well as superb performance of the end product. These fragrance oils are phthalate free as well. You can always reach out to us for more information and testing documentation. We started this company in our own home. We cherish our safety and well being too!
