Never made candles before; these are so pretty and I want to try them. If I wanted to add a cinnamon or citrus fragrance does anyone know how I go about it

Have a question about this project?
Thank you for posting these ideas for candles. In the painted wooden candles could you please say which brand of spray paint you used? I went to the blog and it didn't mention it. It is a lovely shiny gold color for metallic spray paint. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
