THIS IS THE ONLY CANDLE THAT NEVER GOES OUT – IT LASTS 1 WHOLE MONTH

 


Prepare the Mixture: In a glass, mix about half a glass of water with the lemon slices, orange peel, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise.

Add Oils: Pour a bit of cooking oil into the mixture. This will cause the water to rise. At this point, add a few drops of your chosen essential oil, with lavender being a highly recommended option for its calming properties.

Prepare the Wick: Take a plastic cup and cut its edges vertically, leaving the bottom intact. Pierce the center of the cup's bottom and thread a piece of string through, securing it with a knot on the outside.

Assemble the Candle: Place the bottom of the cup with the string inside the glass, ensuring the water level reaches the edge and the string extends outside the mixture.

Lighting: Once assembled, your candle is ready to be lit. The string serves as the wick, and the concoction within the glass will fuel the flame, allowing it to last for an extended period.

This DIY candle not only promises a prolonged burn time but also offers the flexibility of scent customization based on the fruits and spices you choose to include. It's a creative way to enjoy the comforting glow and aroma of a candle over several weeks, making it a perfect addition to any home.


Remember, safety is paramount. Ensure the string wick remains above the water to keep your candle burning brightly. Should the wick accidentally become submerged, simply replace the bottom of the cup and the string to continue enjoying your long-lasting, scented candle. This method allows for a personalized touch in scent selection, ensuring your living space is always enveloped in your favorite fragrances.
