Eco-friendly candles in glass DIY
Autumn time finally means time for candles again - snuggle up at home, grab a book and head to the sofa. Candles are a must. Whether candles in a glass or tea lights - you can easily make your own candles.
Have you ever thought about your candles at home and how they affect sustainability and the environment ? For example, the many small tea lights create a lot of aluminum waste, especially because the tea lights are often made from paraffin and burn very quickly. Paraffin is made from petroleum, by the way. This can release toxic pollutants into the air and thus into your respiratory system.
You can easily make environmentally friendly candles from soy, rapeseed or beeswax yourself in your favorite glass jar . The flame sparkles beautifully in the Mason Jar glass and creates a cozy atmosphere. The quilted glasses with 120 ml or 240 ml in particular conjure up beautiful light effects with their diamond pattern . You can refill the glass with new wax again and again and make a candle yourself. This saves you a lot of waste. Soy wax burns for a particularly long time and is available in great organic quality.
You can embellish this pretty, sustainable autumn decoration with some dried flowers . We'll show you how to make your own candles in a glass jar in our DIY:
Now wrap some wick around a pen or a wooden stick. Shorten the wick according to the height of the glass.
Once the wax has melted, you can pour it into the FAVORITE Quilted 120 ml or Quilted 240 ml jar. Then place the wick in the middle of the Mason Jar and place the pen with the end of the wick across the edge of the jar.
Now allow the wax to harden in the Ball Mason jars . You should add the dried flowers relatively late - otherwise they tend to sink a little and fade. As soon as the top layer begins to stretch slightly and harden, add the flowers to the surface. This looks particularly pretty and the flowers even give the candle a little scent. Done!
By the way, candle remnants can be easily reused - simply melt them.
Do you already know our tealight holders or candle holders for the Ball Mason jars? You can put decorations in the bottom of the jar and put the candle on top - 2 in 1 :)
Have fun trying it out!
Pour candles in your FAVORITE GLASS - with soy wax
