  • How We Started

    Hi there! I’m Hannah, a wife, stay-at-home mom of two busy boys, and the proud owner of Tracy Made. What started as a simple hobby—making candles and crafting unique home goods—has grown into a small business that my whole family enjoys being a part of.

    In the beginning, I was just looking for a creative outlet, something to do in between the beautiful chaos of raising my boys. Little did I know, my passion for crafting would turn into a business that brings joy not only to my family but to so many others. With each candle poured and every design created, I’ve poured my heart into making products that inspire, uplift, and add a touch of warmth to any space.

    Tracy Made is truly a family effort—whether it's brainstorming new ideas, packing orders, or sharing laughs along the way, we’ve found so much joy in building this dream together. We’re all about creating meaningful, high-quality pieces, from our scripture-inspired mugs to our carefully blended candle scents that make any space feel like home.

    I’m so grateful for the support of our amazing customers who have made this journey possible. Whether you’re here for the first time or have been with us from the beginning, thank you for being part of our story. I can't wait to share more exciting creations with you!

  • What is a Tube Wick?

    Candle enthusiasts and artisans alike are constantly seeking ways to enhance both the safety and sensory experience of burning a candle. One such advancement is the tube wick—a unique design that masterfully combines the clean burn of a cotton wick with the soothing, ambient crackle of a wood wick. This hybrid approach not only results in a smooth and consistent burn but also transforms candle lighting into an immersive sensory ritual.

    Cotton wicks have long been favored for their reliability and safety. Made from natural fibers, these wicks provide a steady flame and produce minimal soot, ensuring that the candle burns cleanly and safely. The National Candle Association has noted that when paired with high-quality wax, cotton wicks contribute significantly to a candle’s performance by promoting even burning and reducing indoor air pollutants (National Candle Association, 2019). Their dependable nature lays a solid foundation for advanced wick designs like the tube wick.

    On the other hand, wood wicks have become popular among candle lovers for the distinctive, gentle crackle they produce—evoking the cozy ambiance of a fireplace. This auditory element enhances the candle experience by adding a layer of relaxation and warmth to any environment. While wood wicks create a unique sensory effect, they sometimes require a more delicate balance in burn rate, which is why blending them with cotton wicks can offer an optimal solution.

    The tube wick is designed to harness the best attributes of both cotton and wood wicks. By integrating a cotton core with features that emulate the delightful crackle of a wood wick, the tube wick delivers a controlled, smooth burn that is both safe and enchanting. At Tracy Made LLC, we have embraced the tube wick for our candle collections because we find it to be a superior product. This design not only ensures an even burn—reducing issues like tunneling—but also provides that coveted soft crackle, elevating the overall ambiance of our candles. Insights from industry experts at CandleScience further affirm that combining these elements can markedly enhance burn quality and customer satisfaction (CandleScience, 2022).

    In summary, the tube wick represents a significant evolution in candle-making by uniting the safety and consistency of cotton wicks with the sensory appeal of wood wicks. This synthesis creates a fantastic, smooth burn that enriches both the visual and auditory aspects of the candle experience. For those seeking a safe, high-performing, and mood-enhancing candle, the tube wick is an excellent choice—a fact that is exemplified by Tracy Made LLC’s commitment to using only the best in our products. Our dedication to quality and safety ensures that each candle offers a satisfying burn and a warm ambiance, making it a perfect addition to any home.
