    Suspend the candle wick in the milk bottle. Wrap the end of the wick around a pencil and suspend it over the bottle to hold the wick in place.

    Follow the package directions for melting your wax on the stove in a double boiler or a candle boiling bag.

    If using the bag, remove from water and place into a candle pouring candle or a large measuring cup with a pour spout. Open the bag and fold the edges down around the measuring cup or container.

    To the melted wax, add the vanilla scent in the proportion directed on the package. (Experiment with different scents like cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla, or try mixing them.) Mix well with a spoon.

    Carefully pour scented wax into the milk bottle. Position the wick in the center. Allow to cool and harden.

    Trim the wick.

      This is so cute and such a wonderful idea ~ when I first looked I thought it was a cute little bottle of milk. That everlasting color is so pretty and could be used in so many projects.

      How Cute!! Santa can take the candle home to Mrs. Claus. I imagine by the end of his trip he’s pretty full of liquid and I don’t imagine there are too many bathroom facilities. And even if there were he’s on a tight schedule 🙂
