I did a modified version of candle carving a few years ago for christmas presents.

With a sharp instrument (screw driver? can't remember) I carved a tiki design into a light-colored candle. Then, I took one of those dark-colored candle in a tub (like the kind Yankee puts out), which has a very soft spreadable wax, and rubbed the soft wax into the carved design. It was a pretty cool effect, and could be completed in just a few minutes.
