Scented Bug Candles
Time:30 min
Difficulty:Medium
Looking for a reason to get outside this weekend? Why not make some twiggy tree art! It’s a great way to get some fresh air and make some TREErific art to decorate your room or give to someone close to you!
Here’s what you need:
- Fresh herbs (Rosemary, basil, thyme, or lavender)
- Water
- A glass or jar
- Essential oil (citronella and lemongrass)
- 1 Lime and 2 lemon wedges
- A floating candle (tea light candle works perfectly)
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Add fresh herbs! Rosemary, basil, thyme, and lavender work well.
Step 2:Â Fill your jar up with water, just about an inch below the lid rings, and leave enough space for your candle.
Step 3: 10-20 drops of essential oil (depending on the size of your jar). A mix of citronella and lemongrass works great. If you don’t have any of this, you can skip this step.
Step 4:Â Add 1 lime wedge and 2 lemon slices. The fruit and the citrus oils are great as natural bug repellents!
Step 5:Â Finally, it’s time to put in your floating candle! A tea light candle works perfectly for this DIY!
