I recently bought a candle from Pier 1, a pine-scented one that makes my house smell like a delicious pine forest. Unfortunately, it ran all the way down after like, 3 days, holy cow so fast. So I decided to make a pine candle of my own since its so easy. I just got a pine scented oil from Michaels', and used leftover wax from when I made candles a couple of years ago. I melted it down in a double broiler-situation and then added the scents. I poured it into the same container that the old candle came in, just to recycle. Here it is right after pouring:
And after it hardened:
And now the wicks are cut and it's ready to use!
This was actually pretty fun - I'm glad I decided to do this.
