Sometimes you just need a craft day. You know, a slow couple of hours spent lulled into peaceful bliss by the comforting process of making something.
Today my friend Tiffany and I finally got our long-planned, several-times-rescheduled craft day. And we went to town.
We started with empty glass containers, candle wicks, frangrance oils, and a huge bag of wax I've been trying to finish off for about three years now [mission finally accomplished].
We melted wax down in 2 cup batches and added fragrance oils [about 1 tbsp frangrance per 2 cups wax].
After hot glueing our wicks down into our warmed-up containers, we poured the wax.
Thank goodness Tiffany labeled everything. Whew.
The wax slowly set and turned from buttery yellow to creamy white.
And then...we had candles.
Ahh, zen.
