No more buying candles! This homemade infinite candle burns for hours, repels insects, and fills your home with an amazing fragrance. Plus, it’s super easy to make with everyday ingredients! 🏡🔥
🛒 WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
✔ A glass jar or container 🏺
✔ 2 fingers of coarse salt 🧂
✔ 1 whole lime (sliced) 🍋
✔ Cloves (a handful) 🌿
✔ Cinnamon sticks (optional) 🌿
✔ Vegetable oil (any kind: sunflower, canola, used cooking oil, etc.) 🛢️
✔ A piece of string (wick) 🧵
✔ A small piece of plastic (cut from a plastic cup or bottle cap) 🥤
✔ Essential oil (eucalyptus, lavender, or your favorite scent) – optional 🌸
🔥 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
1️⃣ PREPARE THE BASE
Take a glass jar (mason jar, old candle jar, or any heat-resistant container).
Add 2 fingers of coarse salt – this will act as a foundation.
2️⃣ ADD FRAGRANCE & DECORATION
Slice one whole lime 🍋 and place the slices in the jar.
Add a handful of cloves 🌿 (great for repelling insects!).
Drop in cinnamon sticks 🌿 (for extra aroma and insect-repelling power).
If you prefer, add rose petals or orange peels 🍊 for a decorative touch.
3️⃣ FILL WITH WATER & OIL
Pour in water until the lime slices are just covered.
Now, top up with vegetable oil 🛢️, leaving about 2 fingers of space at the top.
The oil will stay on top of the water (because oil and water don’t mix), creating the fuel layer for the candle.
4️⃣ MAKE THE WICK HOLDER
Take a small piece of plastic (cut from a plastic cup or bottle cap).
Poke a hole in the center – this will hold the wick.
Insert a piece of string 🧵 through the hole and bend it slightly to keep it in place.
5️⃣ ASSEMBLE & LIGHT IT UP
Carefully place the wick + plastic piece on top of the oil.
Add a few drops of essential oil for extra fragrance. 🌸
Light the wick and enjoy! 🕯️
