I love candles, and mason jar crafts because it creates a cute farmhouse style for the house. Sustain My Craft Habit does a great job showing how simple it is to create a candle too. I go through candles easily so it can get expensive over time. Plus, I think this is a great way to add comfort and coziness while having a nice scent. The look of these dried lavender mason jars candles are very pretty and creates a nature-inspired look for the house. I like how dainty and simple the candles appear, and these would be a great gift idea for a house warming.
Supplies:
- mason jars
- candle wax
- dried lavender
- essential oil
- candle wicks
- twine
Directions:
First, cut the lavender stems to the height of the inside of the jar. Then, melt the wax in a double boiler.
Next, place a few lavender stems against the sides of the surfaces of the glass. Use a spoon and pour a little of the wax over the base candle stems to hold them in place. Then, wrap the excess candle wick around a stick, and dip the end of the wick in wax. Continue to watch Sustain My Craft Habit on YouTube for full instructions and details.
Overall, I want to make these homemade lavender candles for my friends and family because they are inexpensive. Now, I can use this tutorial for other herbs, and nature stems. I think this is an easy way to create a bunch of mason jar candles in one sitting. Plus, I love essential oils and they cost more when you buy them in stores. It would be nice to pick out my own scent for the candle too.
