Task #3: Scented Candle DIY project from Pinterest
If you haven't heard of Pinterest yet, I don't know what rock you live under but you're about to see the light! Pinterest is this wonderful online "pinboard" where you can post pretty pictures of clothes you wish you had; projects you could do if only you had more time; and breathtaking photographs of almost everything under the sun. Basically it's a place to go when you're bored and you want some sort of inspiration. In any case, the ratio of pins posted to pins you actually attempt to do is about 1000:1. That being said, as part of this challenge I wanted to actual try out one of my pins.
Recently I saw a pin that demonstrated an easy way to recycle scented candles by melting the candles down and layering the scents. Since I have a good amount around my house, I thought it would be a great (and easy) thing to try. Overall, it worked pretty well, although I think it would have been best to use a smaller jar since my layers turned out pretty thin. I used four candles: vanilla, mango, tropical fruit, and guava coconut. It smells very tropical which is really nice in the summer! I'm definitely going to try it again!

PS>> This is my first of 3 Pinterest projects. Look out for parts 2 and 3!!
Here are some pictures of the process:
Step 1: Boil the wax
Step 2: Pour first layer into clean jar. Wait until cool then repeat with second layer, etc.
Final Product! Make sure to trim the wick!!
