Candles!

So last fall I became interested in making my own candles.  And here are the results.

**Warning, candle overload

The very first candle I made.  Using Palm Wax, I created this decorative Teddy Bear Candle.

Here are all the candles I made using Palm Wax.

NOTE:  When using palm wax, make sure you add lots of fragrance.  I added the correct amount and still the candles just smell like Palm wax ><

Palm Wax is a very beautiful wax it   gives the candles a very crystalized look.  You can see the restults in  the  brown candle here.

My Paraffin Wax candles.

This wax takes fragrance well.  

I used Rose essential oil when making these.  Since I love the smell of roses,  I added just a bit too much oil.  My house smelled like roses for days after making these.

Last Winter, I went home to Indiana to spend the holidays with my family and I decided to make candles to give as Christmas gifts.

I made a lot of jarred candles
For the color I used crayola crayons.  Just broke them and added them to the wax.

For the fragrance:
The red candles are “Apple spice”
The green one is “Maple Butter”

the black ones are “A walk in the woods” (a combination of fragrances)

I kept the black ones for myself of course!  ^^
