Even when I know I can get something relatively inexpensively at the store, I still find so much satisfaction in learning how to make it myself at home. Being a maker allows me to add my own creative spin on everything and enjoy the process of seeing pieces and ingredients become finished things. Sure, I can buy handmade dresses for my girls on Etsy, but adding an extra ruffle here, and little ties there, is such a rewarding experience for me. Even though I can get a knitted hat for my baby boy at the Dollar Store, nothing can replace the love a mama puts into making it. There is so much more value in a handmade piece. Love, care and creativity are behind every item. I want to see my kids have the same love for creating that I do. I want to see them bake the bread, knit the hat, sew the dress and arrange the flowers. Their homes will be richer for it. In the last year I added something new to my handmade repertoire. Beeswax Candles! I bought these beeswax pellets http://amzn.to/2hp0VNr on Amazon. Until I can get more wax from the local beekeeper, this is the route I will go. They were so easy to work with and inexpensive. I added the one pound package of beeswax pellets and 1/2 cup coconut oil to my double broiler set up. I also added a good size hunk of cocoa butter, for the delicious chocolate smell. It’s basically; melt the wax, add the wick, pour it in. I will get a little more detailed in the instructions to make it feel like I’m really teaching you something here, but there isn’t a whole lot to it. But, trust me, if you make these for gifts, your family and friends will be super impressed. I used hot glue to secure the wicks to the bottom of the jars, doing my best to center them as much as possible. I bought these wicks on Amazon. To keep the wicks centered, I wrapped them around skewers, that I laid on top of the jars. After the beeswax and coconut oil were fully melted, I added essential oils. This step is totally optional. Beeswax smells delicious all on its own, but I wanted to experiment with some different scents. I wanted to make a relaxing candle, so I added lavender essential oil. This stuff hardens VERY quickly, so don’t take your time filling the jars. If you do, just return the bowl to the double broiler. Since I had poured my wax in a measuring cup for easy pouring, the wax was sticking to the sides of it. I just put the measuring cup in the oven for a few minutes on 350, and it was liquid again. It took the larger candles about 5-10 minutes to set up completely. What delicious combinations can you come up with?
