1 Hour

Easy

Easy to make, affordable, and wonderful for gift-giving! Who could ask for more?!?! These candles took me an hour to make four from start to finish. Though, if I was making a larger batch, I could've easily made 15+ in an hour! Truly though, these candles are super easy and cheap to DIY and make wonderful gifts, or just add a yummy scent to your own home or office!

I found a "recipe" for making beeswax candles the other day and I'm going to add these soy candles to my list. They're a great for me who likes to burn candles, especially in the winter.
