Do It Yourself (DIY) : Cat`s special Diwali candle gift !

Things you will need:

A glue gun
Candles of your favourite colors
A disposable aluminium foil pan
Empty jars (I purchased mine at Pacific Stores Port-Louis at Rs30 each)
Pre-wicked candle tabs (I got mine here)
Fragrances : You may use Yankee Candle tarts or any essential oil
Some clothes pegs
Decorative artificial flowers
Rhinestone stickers (Purchased mine at Super U at Rs50 per sheet/color)

Let`s get started:

Step 1: Get all your stuff ready !

The Candle wicks and tabs

The jars and fragrances

Important reminder: When heating your glue gun, ensure that you place your device on a piece of Aluminium foil sheet because very often it will leak and can cause damages to your furnitures ...

Step 2: Place a small amount of glue on the base of your pre-wicked candle tab then quickly insert it in your jar in the center at the base and press firmly until the glue hardens.

Step 3: Repeat step 2 with all your other jars !

Step 4: Break your candles into small pieces (vary colors as per preference) in your disposable aluminium pan. Weight them as per the capacity of your jars and allow the pieces to melt by placing your pan on your cooker on the smallest heat possible. Remember to insert a piece of aluminium sheet below your pan as below.

Step 5: Stir using a piece of wooden stick from time to time to ensure even distribution of heat .

Step 6: Once everything has fully melted, remove all the wicks if any and add your fragrance/s.

Step 7: Ensure that the fragrances are uniformly distributed by stiring well.

Step 8: As soon as your fragranced wax is ready to be poured, place a clothes peg to hold your wick in place as below for all your jars and microwave everything on high for 30 seconds !
