Recycled Candles


Today for science (schooling Sunday--What kind of mom am I?) we recycled some candles. For Christmas I had received a big apple-scented candle in the big jar and an orange-scented candle in the medium jar. For some reason the wax wasn't used all the way so we made two new candles as you can see. A votive-cup was perfect for the leftover orange, and then I just used the orange's cup for the red. I'll just recycle the biggest jar as I have no use for it. *GASP!* I did actually go out and buy candle wick so the project wasn't free, as such, but now I have wick if we ever do this again.

Sounds fun. We had lots of fun with candles last fall.

Your posting is what inspired me to do it. Before reading your post, I would have just thrown them away.

We went sledding at Old Mill State Park.
Your candles look like great memories were made!
