Why You'll Love This Recycled Craft
Are you tired of throwing away your old candle scraps after Easter or any other occasion? Why not try turning them into something new and unique by creating your own aromatic candles! Here are the top 3 reasons why you should make this craft project:
1. Eco-friendly: By reusing your old candle scraps, you are reducing waste and doing your part to help the environment. Instead of tossing them in the trash, you can give them new life as beautiful aromatic candles, which not only saves money but also helps reduce your carbon footprint.
2. Personalized touch: By making your own candles, you have the opportunity to customize them to your liking. You can choose your favorite scents, colors, and container shapes to create a truly unique and personalized candle that reflects your style and preferences. It's a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your home decor or gift-giving.
3. Relaxing and therapeutic: Crafting your own candles can be a relaxing and therapeutic activity that helps reduce stress and promote mindfulness. The process of melting, mixing, and pouring the wax can be a calming and meditative experience, allowing you to unwind and unleash your creativity. Plus, once your candles are finished, you can enjoy their soothing aroma and warm glow as you relax and unwind in your home.
So gather up all your old candle scraps, get creative, and join us in making your own aromatic candles! It's a fun and rewarding craft project that not only benefits the environment but also allows you to express your creativity and add a personal touch to your living space.

I wondered how to make my own candles. I have so many candles that have just a little left and I have a big candle with no wick and some beautiful candle holders I wanted to t keep and now I know what to do with them. Make a new candle. So easy to do. Will all the different smells be too funky together? And I wonder what essential oil to use. This will be a good way to create your own special smell. Made by you.

I would try and group the smells by type. Perhaps you could make a "fall" candle with pumpkin, apple, cinnamon, and spices and a "spring" candle with flowers, vanilla, and berries? Let me know how it works out!
