I bought a whole pack of simple tealights for lovely light in room. As I burned them I thought how nice actually it was if they would have my favorite scent and all room would be filled with it. Then suddenly i had an idea how to actually give them a scent of my favorite perfume oil :D YOU just take them apart, melt them, add the scent and pour the liquid back to their little containers.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 6 Tea Candle
  • Perfume Oil
  • Melting Pot
  • Knife

Steps (7 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Remove candles from their containers.

  2. 2

    Gently crumble them to take out the wick.

  3. 3

    Put the crumbles to the pot and get ready to melt them.

  4. 4

    They melt quite nicely. When it's all liquid, put your perfume oil in and stir gently but well. I melted six candles so I added about 12 drops. Two drops for a candle. I didn't wanted to overdo with it. Add more for a stronger scent.

  5. 5

    Carefully pour melted wax into containers with wicks placed back. Correct wicks if needed. The stuff is really hot so be careful. It's best to place empty containers oc a small cutting board before pouring wax back in. It will help to transport them to the fridge for a faster cool down.

    As I said, If you have nbo patient, put them to the fridge for about 10 min. and you are done:)
