About Us

Turn 2 Candles is a small business run by two teachers, Jay & Chrissy. We began to look for a way to have some fun while being creative during the 2020 quarantine. Making candles filled our time with much gratification and happiness and we quickly became committed to learning this new art. We decided to get into the business of handcrafting soy wax candles from recycled wine bottles. Jay mastered the precision of cutting and polishing glass and we rescued many wine and liquor bottles that were destined to be thrown in the trash and turned them into beautiful handcrafted soy candles. Even though we chose to specialize in alcohol bottle candles, we also offer smaller sized jar candles and wax melts as additional options for our customers. Our story and name go together. We chose the name, Turn2Candles, because we turned to candles during the Covid quarantine. This is also our 2nd turn at marriage. “Turn 2” is slang for a double play in baseball and given that Jay is a retired high school baseball coach, it fits perfectly. And finally, we “turn” wine bottles “2” a new life as a candle! Every candle is lovingly hand poured in small batches.
