Jar Candles

Got some broken stick candles? Got some old jars? Give them new life! This is a super simple craft, however it is very time-consuming. If you have a Saturday, then give this a try!

Materials:

Jars (baby food jars worked best)

Broken Candles

Blunt object for smashing :D

Pot of Water

Wooden chopstick

Lots, and lots, of patience

Step 1: HULK SMASH!!! Put your broken candles in a heavy duty ziploc and SMASH with the blunt object. Remove the wicks and set them aside for later.

Step 2: Sort! Put the colors of your choice together in the jars.

Step 3: Melt the wax! This part takes a LONG time so be patient. Put your jars in a little bit of water on medium heat on the stove.

Step 4: Once the wax is fully melted carefully remove the jars. Take the chopstick and some tape and put the wick on. Dip it into the wax and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before moving.

Step 5: Display with pride!
