Diy Candles

With the holidays coming, are you still wondering what to give people? Try these diy candles; they are fun and easy to make. Here's how to make them.


What you will need: shortening, soy wax, crayons, candle scents, wicks, mugs, popsicle sticks, hot glue gun, peppermint candies, and sprinkles. I got most of my supplies on etsy.com!

                  First, twist two wicks together to make a stronger flame.
                  Then hot glue the wicks to the bottom of your mugs.
                  You can use a popsicle stick to hold it up.

   Next, add your shortening to a glass container along with two brown
   crayons and half a black crayon for a hot chocolate color OR one green
and half a white crayon for a white chocolate peppermint color. 
                          Microwave until melted. Add desired scent.                                                                                                                

                   Then pour it into your mug and let it get solid.

                                                 
                  Lastly, decorate! To make white chocolate chunks
                  simply melt soy wax in a square container and let
                  it get solid, then break it into pieces.
                                       

                                       
                   For whip cream, soften (don't melt) soy wax and
                   stir until it looks like whip cream. Place onto
                   candles before it hardens!

                                           
                  After your candles are decorated, just cut the wicks
                 and you're done!!!
