Kittie Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Just lovely! Could you share what all you put on the top of them? They look incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaztoo Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Sure....it's Dollar Store potpourri. I keep a muffin tin handy when pouring my candles & have each cup filled with potpourri & throw a couple of leftover wicks on each side. I pour my leftover wax in with the potpourri & voila! Firestarters. HTH...Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowlite Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Those are so cool. I thought about making some before but I always end up doing the boring dipped pine cones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlemomma Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 How I make mineFirst I line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners then I fill the liners with hampster cedar bedding then I melt scrap votive/pillar wax and scent with cinnamon then pour over bedding. If the bedding packs down after pouring I will add a little more bedding on top before they set up. Then let completely cool and pop out. I package mine in a cello bag 2 across & 3 high then tie off with some raffia ribbon and place a name & how-to lable on the front.I scent mine so strong that you can take them out of the package and put them in a basket beside the fireplace. That way they act as a room freshener until you use them to start your (real wood) fire in the fireplace.Thats how I do mine as well..
