No more buying candles! This homemade infinite candle burns for hours, repels insects, and fills your home with an amazing fragrance. Plus, it’s super easy to make with everyday ingredients! 🏡🔥
🛒 What You’ll Need:
✔ A glass jar or container 🏺
✔ 2 fingers of coarse salt 🧂
✔ 1 whole lime (sliced) 🍋
✔ Cloves (a handful) 🌿
✔ Cinnamon sticks (optional) 🌿
✔ Vegetable oil (any kind: sunflower, canola, used cooking oil, etc.) 🛢️
✔ A piece of string (wick) 🧵
✔ A small piece of plastic (cut from a plastic cup or bottle cap) 🥤
✔ Essential oil (eucalyptus, lavender, or your favorite scent) – optional 🌸
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Base
- Take a glass jar (mason jar, old candle jar, or any heat-resistant container).
- Add 2 fingers of coarse salt – this will act as a foundation.
2️⃣ Add Fragrance & Decoration
- Slice one whole lime 🍋 and place the slices in the jar.
- Add a handful of cloves 🌿 (great for repelling insects!).
- Drop in cinnamon sticks 🌿 (for extra aroma and insect-repelling power).
- If you prefer, add rose petals or orange peels 🍊 for a decorative touch.
3️⃣ Fill with Water & Oil
- Pour in water until the lime slices are just covered.
- Now, top up with vegetable oil 🛢️, leaving about 2 fingers of space at the top.
- The oil will stay on top of the water (because oil and water don’t mix), creating the fuel layer for the candle.
4️⃣ Make the Wick Holder
- Take a small piece of plastic (cut from a plastic cup or bottle cap).
- Poke a hole in the center – this will hold the wick.
- Insert a piece of string 🧵 through the hole and bend it slightly to keep it in place.
5️⃣ Assemble & Light It Up
- Carefully place the wick + plastic piece on top of the oil.
- Add a few drops of essential oil for extra fragrance. 🌸
- Light the wick and enjoy! 🕯️
