Household Hints & Help

I have used (and like) all sorts of things. For fragrance, I think the best thing is the scented wax (I have Yankee Candles brand) that you use with the little trays with a tea candle under them. I also use oil trays that fit on light bulbs. And I reuse the Our Own Candle Company jars and the excess wax to make my own candles. They already come with that wick holder to make it easy to hang a wick. I have not had to buy more candles for years. You can get extra wax (if you need it, and I never seem to although the color or my candles is iffy) and wicks and additional scent for candles at a craft store. I reuse the metal pieces for the bottom of the wick. I remelt the wax in a jar set in a pan of water on the stove. It is kinda messy, but I don't have to do it often and I do it all at one time for several candles at once. I have a couple burning right now with cinnamon scent, but the color is a weird purple/blue because of the colors of the wax I had left over.
