Make coffee bean scented candle from leftovers

This candle with coffee beans can be easily made and smells really great for fresh coffee when burning.

I had collected enough candlesticks again, Advent candles and Co ... so I made a new one out of it.

material

  • remaining candles
  • Wick (could be easily removed from a stick candle if you break it in the middle and pull out the wick)
  • a Tetra Pak of juice or milk (well washed out)
  • Cuttermesser
  • coffee beans
  • melt an old container to wax

manufacturing

  1. First I cut or broken all the remnants of the candles and melted them in an old vessel over water vapor.
  2. In the meantime, cut the empty Tetra Pak in half with the knife, or just as high as you would like the candle to be afterwards, and thoroughly cleaned and dried.
  3. Wrap the wick in the middle of a skewer or other utensil and place it centrally on the Tetra Pak.
  4. Spread some coffee beans on the floor and pour in the wax.
  5. I have always waited a few seconds between pouring and repeatedly inserted new coffee beans, so you also have some of them in the middle, possibly stir something with a shish kebab and distribute the beans. Coffee beans again at the top.
  6. Then you leave the whole about 7 - 8 hours stand, usually the wax dries when drying the middle of the wick a little bit down, so that a small hollow arises, who bothers, or who wants to give the candle, who can do something again Melt the wax and fill the small hollow with it.
  7. After drying, it is easy to cut into the corners of the Tetra Pak with the cutter and pull it off the candle, which is easy.
