Hello friends, I am happy to say that Fall projects and decorating have officially begun. Who else  loves candles? I am a ll about candle ambiance and I love a pretty Fall candle. This project was tough one for me because I was having major “DIY block” (writer’s block for a DIY project). I couldn’t think of  a project to make and I made 3 “failed” projects before this one. Of course  this was the easiest of them all, and for sure my favorite. It all started with a set of 7 amber glasses, yes 7…that’s why I decided to turn one of them into a candle. What was I going to do with an odd number of glasses? I did have 8 glasses and I got them all for $3 last year at the Nashville Flea Market. Then…hubby got a hold of them and well, did I ever tell you he is kind of accident prone and a little clumsy? Well, there went the 8th glass, so this just gave me a good excuse to do something with that 7th glass I had. I am sharing this project along side the most talented  ladies I know (see 25+ DIY projects listed below) in the blog world hosted my sweet Krista from The Happy Housie.

Vintage Fall Candle Supplies: 

Vintage glass you could do this with just about anything but amber glasses are certainly a hit this year.

Bees Wax

Wick

Coconut Oil 

Essentail Oil of choice ( I had only lavender so I opted not to add any fragrance since that did not go along with my Fall vibe) kept this one unscented.

Amber glasses from Etsy:

Step 1: Hot glue wick to bottom of glass just a dot of glue will do.

Step 2: On stove top with low heat add 1/4-1/2 of bag of beeswax and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.

*Tip this will make more than one candle so have  a back up jar or glass to make more than one.

Step 3: Stir Wax constantly and continue to remove from heat to not burn.

Step 4: Once wax gets to a liquid (add essential oil if plan for fragrance) then add liquid wax to jar or glass

Step 5: Add pencil to top of glass to prevent wick from getting stuck inside wax. This will keep the wick straight while wax dries.
