It is not possible to physically bend a candle once it has been formed and solidified. Candles are typically made from wax, which is a solid material at room temperature and requires heat to melt and shape.

If you want to create a curved or bent shape in a candle, you can try one of the following methods:

  1. Use a heat gun or hair dryer: Apply heat to the area of the candle you want to bend using a heat gun or hair dryer. Once the wax becomes pliable, gently bend it to the desired shape. Be careful not to apply too much heat or the candle may melt or deform.

  2. Soften the candle: Soften the candle by placing it in a warm area or heating it in a low-temperature oven. Once the wax becomes soft, you can try bending it to the desired shape.

  3. Mold the wax: If you want to create a candle in a specific shape, you can try molding the wax before it solidifies. Pour the melted wax into a mold and shape it while it is still soft.

Keep in mind that altering a candle's shape may affect its burn time and may also affect its overall stability. It is also important to exercise caution when working with heat sources and hot wax to avoid injury or fire hazards.
