Meet Patootie.

  1. Patootie hugging a candle jar

    She likes making things.

  2. Patootie with a flask

    Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't.

  3. Patootie peeking at a cupcake candle

    Sometimes she accidentally creates an entire Christmas candle collection.

  4. Patootie enjoying a cup of coffee

    And sometimes she considers making pizza candles before selling the first batch.

Nobody said entrepreneurship was predictable. 😂

The real maker

Behind the character

Patootie is the drawn-up version of the maker behind Patootie Creates. Every candle is poured, shaped and finished by hand in soy wax in Denmark — one tiny almond, cherry and cream swirl at a time.

The whole adventure of building a little business from scratch is being shared as an ongoing documentary on Instagram: the experiments, the mistakes and the small victories.
