- Long ago the people used to make their own candles. They used to make them out of lard. They had a tin object shaped like a candle with a hole at the bottom. They used to put the wick in this hole and catch it at the top. The wick was two threads twisted together and soaked in lard. Then they used to pour lard in around the wick. When it hardened again they could take it out.
