So, work is a bit dragging today and I decided to do something for the hubby. He found a DIY candle making without wax. It failed horribly and I think it was all because of how he decided to heat the vegetable shortening. He put it into a pot, heated it, then poured it into the glass and it instantly shattered since it wasn’t made to take that type of heat.
Anyway, I found an old candle I didn’t use anymore and decided to do it the way of the instructions. I cleaned out the container, heated the shortening in the microwave, then added scent, wick, and froze it. Turns out, I made a successful DIY candle. The wick might be a little crooked, but it still burns and smells like a candle. So, I call that a win. Hopefully the hubby will approve.
