Light Your Great Candles

Once the candles have cooled and sat for at least 24 hours, it's time to head outdoors!

Light 'em up! But don't forget to take notes on how the wicks, wax and essential oils perform.

Note: Be sure to use extra caution with these candles. The large wicks produce large flames and melt pools. Be sure to place them where people, children or pets will not bump into them or knock them over. And never use them indoors.

Additional note: The candle that's third from the left was made with wax scraps. It's kind of a purple-brown color...but as you can see, it's burning just fine!
