Comments (9)Candle storage is a problem for me as I have quite a few that I don't burn (decorative only) or the wax hurricane type that lasts forever. I also can never resist when I find good quality tapers on sale and will buy multiples then. Officially I store most in boxes in the cold room altho whenever I want a particular one it's a problem finding exactly what I want so I definitely need a better system. I'm convinced DH has 'hidden' a box from me as there are missing votives. He claims not but it's likely in the back of a closet or on the top shelf of the cold room where I can't reach. I have started putting some tapers in the drawer of the sideboard in our greatroom so they are easily accessible. I don't think they will ever get too warm there altho I may have to move them before summer as the house could get too warm then if we are away. I keep tealights in an enamel pot and some in another lidded pot which are handy to the kitchen and greatroom. They are what I burn mostly. I like using various containers such as bean pots or ceramic or pottery containers to store things. Hidden but handy....See MoreChristmas candy candle rings?
Comments (7)Well, I think I solved my problem and am posting this in case it works for others. I bought some "candy" and evergreen picks at Jo-Ann Fabrics and curved them into circles. I put one of these circles around each of the four candles in my pair of sconces and they look great! And so easy. I bought more of the same picks and stuck them into the wreath that's in between the sconces so it pulls the look together. It looks quite festive! Yayy--problem solved....See MoreChristmas candles
Comments (2)I've made beeswax candles but I've only used molds to make them. It looks like that wax was tinted and the candle went through several dippings before it was rolled in the cinnamon. Honestly, if you can get the candle for $5.99, I'd just buy it. By the time you bought all the supplies, I don't know if what you saved would be worth the aggravation and mess. Here is a link that might be useful: $5.99 candle...See Morededtired
