While every season has unique and specific scents, the enchanting aromas of fall and winter are the best ones. Be it a simmering pot of cider, homemade apple pie, pumpkin spice beverages, or cinnamon-scented candles, it\u2019s safe to say the holidays smell amazing. Did you know that you can invite that signature cinnamon spice into your home without purchasing candles or air fresheners? All you have to do is make the cinnamon spice candles<\/strong> in this article.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candles are great for numerous occasions and make practical home decor items. It\u2019s also useful to have them if you ever experience a blackout. And while it\u2019s easy to purchase candles in store, they can often be quite pricey and filled with chemicals, many of which are harmful to your respiratory system. Candle making is also a great way to save money on gifts if you are trying to have a budget-friendly holiday season<\/a>. You can decorate the jars\/glasses, in which the candle goes, and gift them to friends, family members, and coworkers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are Natural Candles Better?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

They Produce Less Soot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are a regular candle lighter, you may have noticed that a lot of soot accumulates around the inside of the glass. This is because chemical-rich candles don\u2019t burn as clean as natural candles do. Because of this, you won\u2019t see black soot gather on the candle or surfaces near where you light it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Unsavory Chemicals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paraffin wax is the predominant wax that manufacturers use to make candles. It is derived from petroleum and can contain carcinogens, numerous toxins, and air pollutants. Organic waxes like beeswax or soy wax can help you avoid exposure to harmful chemicals<\/a>. Additionally, wicks made from cotton, wood, or hemp are better options than metal-cored wicks, which release toxins as they burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Burn Longer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike paraffin wax, natural waxes have a lower melting point, meaning they last longer. This means that your candles will last longer, so you can enjoy them for longer. They are also eco-friendly and have a more pleasant aroma when they burn. So you won\u2019t get tired of the scent due to the longer lifespan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DIY Cinnamon Spice Candles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Mason jars or container of choice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Smokeless candle wicks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Flaked soy wax<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 tablespoon ground clove<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • You have to start by melting your wax. If you want to fill a standard pint Mason jar, you\u2019ll need 2 cups of melted wax. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Start by adding one cup of soy wax flakes to a heat-safe glass measuring cup and microwave for two minutes. Continue microwaving for one-minute intervals until fully melted. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Add another cup of wax and continue to microwave in one-minute intervals until it\u2019s all thoroughly melted. If you prefer to melt the wax in a double boiler, you can do it that way as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • While the wax is melting, wrap the end of a candle wick around the middle of a wooden skewer or pencil and balance the skewer on the top of the jar. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The bottom of the wick should be resting at the bottom of the jar. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • When the wax is complete melted, add in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and clove and mix well. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Hold the skewer with the wick and slowly pour the wax into the jar. If you see any air bubbles on the sides of the jar, use a separate wooden skewer to rub the inside of the jar to release them to the top. You can leave them be if you want. It\u2019s simply a matter of aesthetic appeal. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Allow four to five hours for the candle to complete set. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Light it up and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
