January's Craft - homemade, no wax, candle

This candle is so simple, and quick, to make.

SUPPLIES: The clear bottle is lavender scented oil. 

(make sure the string is cotton)

Fill the jar with crisco and melt in the microwave - 2 minutes on high. While it's melting, melt the crayons - I used the stove, next time the microwave 'cause now I have a pot to clean ... LOL.

Add the melted crayon to the melted crisco, add the scented oil, followed by the string tied to a nut (or something else to weight it down to the bottom). Sink the nut and wind the string around a chop stick (or other implement) to keep it upright while the candle sets.

When the jar is cooled a bit, put it in the freezer for half an hour. Then snip the string - and decorate the bottle if you wish.

Makes good gifts I'd think. :)
