Learn How to Make A Scented Mason Jar Candle

Have you been wanting to learn how to make candles and are intimidated by it?  Well, here’s a really simple way to make your own heavenly smelling candles in no time at all!  One of my favorite things to have in my home are candles.  It is a necessity for my home to always smell good, so I make lots of candles.  People are always commenting on how good my home smells.  You can go crazy with all the different essential oils that are on the market today.  I know I did!  I usually have a bunch made up to give as gifts.  I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like a good smelling candle…men love them too!  I gave some candles to men for Christmas and I picked out some oils that have a more masculine smell.  Although one of my male friends love the candles I make with the Pink Sugar scent, so you never know!  Another tip is to buy soy candle wax because it burns longer and cleaner.  There are many reasons to use soy wax.  Just google soy wax and you can read why.  Are you ready to get started on making candles? Just follow the easy instructions below.
