Let the wax cool and harden for 30 minutes. Peel away the cardboard and remove the candle from its mold. Color your wax to match or compliment the color of your potpourri. Scent your wax with candle fragrance that enhances the fragrance of your potpourri. Try making some candles using other materials in place of the potpourri, such as crayon shavings, seashells, dried rosebuds, acorns, leaves, bits of evergreen with tiny pinecones or little polished stones.
Candles make wonderful gifts.
Give one to your Secret Pal at the office this holiday season. Bundle up a few with raffia ribbon for a quick housewarming or hostess gift. Always enjoy your candles safely. The potpourri candle is for decorative use only. It should not be burned for long periods of time.
