Seth decided he wanted to try to make our own candles so he went to Michael's and bought a candle making kit & some cinnamon fragrance.
We tried it out on Tuesday night. We made up our own version of a double boiler and melted the soy wax. Even though they were going to be cinnamon scented I didn't want to just go with the typical red coloring & chose to do purple instead so we mixed the blue & red dye to make this pretty purple color.
We had a little extra wax left over so I found a little jar I had laying around & we poured the remaining wax into it for a smaller candle.
The scent is so strong & lovely! The house smells wonderful even when the candles aren't lit!
We had a lot of fun and it was a lot easier than we expected. We will definitely be trying some more candle making!
