Fill your home with holiday scents with these great Christmas Container Candles. You can use any container you like, from Christmas coffee mugs, to a holiday shot-glass, to a hand-painted bucket. Just make sure it's heat safe and won't leak the melted wax.

For this project you'll need:

  • A suitable container - I'm using holiday coffee cups I got at the local craft store
  • A container blend wax - I'm using Cargill C-3 Soy wax flakes
  • A suitable wick - I'm using a CD-18, but an HTP105 or ECO wick would work well too
  • Wick stickum or bit of glue
  • Fragrance, as desired
  • Color, if desired
  • Wick bar or drinking straw
  • Basic candlemaking equipment
