Rose Petal Candle // Clean Living

 Today's clean living project is a simple candle DIY. The fragrance of this candle is soft and soothing. I use this candle most during the morning while practicing yoga.

 

supplies:

rose petals
soy candle wax
lavender essential oil
wooden candle wick
glass jar
tooth pick or popsicle stick
cooking pot of water

Begin by putting a pot of water on the stove top on low.

 Place the jar in the pot of water, and add a small amount of wax in the bottom of the jar. Once melted, place the candle wick at the base of the jar.

 Next, place a layer of roses on top of the melted wax. With a tooth pick, arrange the flower petals onto the sides of the jar, using the wax to stick them to the glass.

Add more wax, a handful of rose petals, and 20 drops of desired essential oil.

Once completely melted, remove from the stove, and allow the wax to cool and harden.
