How do I make my own candles as a fun DIY craft

Sure! Here are three different ways you can make your own candles:

. **Basic Candle Making**: Grab some wax (like soy or paraffin), a wick, and a heatproof container. Melt the wax in a double boiler, add your favorite essential oils for scent, and pour it into the container with the wick in place. Let it cool and harden, then trim the wick, and you’ve got yourself a cozy candle!

. **Colorful Layered Candles**: Start with the same basic supplies but get creative with colors! Melt different colors of wax separately and pour them into your container one at a time, letting each layer cool a bit before adding the next. You can even mix in some glitter for a fun touch. Just make sure to keep the wick centered!
