Different soy candles scented with lavender and peppermint essential oils.

Just a quick blog post as it’s quite late. Been a busy time with making, crafting and Christmas shopping. I’ve made some more lavender votive soy candles like I had at the last craft fair I was at. This time though I’ve made the coloured wax chunks a lighter purple to fit better with the lavender scent. The previous batch were a bit too red for me.

You may recall I showed a wool wrapped candle holder here a while ago. I’ve been looking at it and thinking instead of just leaving it as a candle holder, why not make a candle inside it too. Since the wool has some green in it, I made the candle scented with peppermint and rosemary essential oils. Peppermint just seemed the right choice to go with the wool colour.

Check out the Handmade Monday, Inspire Me Monday and Inspire Me Friday blog parties this week. I’ll be doing that tomorrow once I’ve had a good nights sleep
