- Old CraftsLong, long ago the old people used to make candles which they called tallow candles. The first thing they did was to get the tallow from the cow. They then got a mould and a long tape with a nail on the end of it and then filled up the mould with the tallow. Then they would put a potato at on end. They would hole the potato and draw the tape through the mould and then let the candle get hard
