Now that Thanksgiving has passed, holiday mode most likely hit everyone hard. It's the time of rushing around, getting presents, and setting up various holiday-related decor in homes. Yet, it is also a great time to enjoy ourselves and embrace the season. 

How to do that, you wonder? By making a lovely scented handmade candle for the home! Place it in the bathroom to delight guests, or use it season-long as a way to bring a bit of the holidays home.

Pining For Snow Candle

This yummy scented candle will carry a bit of the season in colder months to come!

What You'll Need: 

+ Pine Needle 100% Pure Essential Oil 

+ White Beeswax for Candles

+ Wick (With Sticker) 

+ 1 Candle Holder 

How To Make: 

Step 1 - 

Place the sticker side of the wick in the center of your tin. The wick will be long, so wrap the excess around a pen or pencil so it dries straight. It'll also keep the wick from falling sideways into the wax--yikes! 

Step 2 - 

Over a stove, heat your double boiler with water in the pot below. 

Step 3 - 

Once water boils, add the beeswax. Melt it! Make sure to use a thermometer so it reaches 180 in temp, no higher.

Step 4 - 

Add in the Pine Needle Oil, then transfer into the tin. 

Step 5 - 

Allow it to cool...Then use!
