Want your home to smell festive this winter? Try making your own winter candles.

Homemade candles are a great way to add a cosy and personalised touch to your space.

You will need wax, wicks, essential oils, candle jars, and colour dyes.

Melt your wax carefully using a boiler or microwave. Don’t let it get too hot.

Once the wax is melted, add your favourite festive essential oils, like cinnamon, pine, or vanilla.

For a fun touch, add a bit of dye to the wax. Choose Christmas colours like red, green, or white.

Place the wick at the bottom of your candle jar. You can secure it with a bit of hot glue.

Leave your candle to cool and harden for a few hours before using it.
