What better way to spend the holidays than snuggling up inside to avoid the cold? No better way, in our opinion! A customized homemade candle is guaranteed to keep you cozy on your lazy winter days; it makes a great holiday gift too!
You Will Need:
Wax
Wick
Glue
Fragrance (we used lavender oil)
Dried lavender (optional)
Glass container (we used a teacup)
Step 1: Using a double boiler, melt the wax. If using tapers, as we did, break them up for easier melting.
Step 2: Glue the wick to the container of your choice. We wrapped it around a chopstick to keep it in place.
Step 3: Remove the wax from heat and allow to cool until it reaches approximately 125°. Once it does, stir in the scent and dried lavender.
Step 4: Pour the wax into your container.
Step 5: Allow the wax to harden over night, then trim the wick to 1/4″.
That’s it! An easy 5-step candle DIY that will be sure to make your holidays warm and bright.
P.S. Lavender is what we used, but it can be substituted for just about any scent you like!
