Do you burn scented candles in your home as a form of aromatherapy? Store bought candles contain all types of chemicals and additives that may not be healthy to breathe. A better solution is to make your own scented candles as a DIY project. This will also be cheaper in the long run too.


The process to make your own scented candles will not as hard as you might think. In fact, there are many ways you can do this depending on the supplies you have available. Wax flakes will be needed for this project and are available at most craft stores or online at sites like Amazon.

Essential oils are also important to make your own scented candles. There are many types you can use, but the best selections are lavender, peppermint, and lemongrass. Glass jars will be necessary for your candles, but you can also use glass votives too. Instructions to make your own scented candles are available on sheknows.com here...
