Imbolc Idea: Giving Old Candles a New Life

Merry meet!

I was reading through some books on Imbolc and came across a cute candle repurposing craft - seems like a fun and colorful way to give old candle scraps a new life! :candle:

Here are the instructions and photo from Sabbat Entertaining: Celebrating the Wiccan Holidays with Style by Willow Polson :

Here are the instructions for melting wax

(from a different recipe in the same book)

Happy (almost) Imbolc and blessed be! :candle:

We try to make candles every year on Candlemas (which is February 2nd)… maybe I’ll gather some things up!… though, any candle make sessions are going to happen on February 7th this year!

Omg! I remember making this in grade school. How awesome is this! You just brought a smile to my face! Thank you for that! The reveal when we pulled off the small milk carton that was the cover, it was so cool. We would put ice cubes inside to get random holes throughout while the wax cooled. (If this is in there, I apologize, I saw the picture and got excited)

Toodles!
