SatinDucky Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I thought this would be a pleasant way to have a citronella candle on the picnic table. This thing is huge though. Around 10" wide and holds nearly 3 lbs of wax...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraScribbles Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hey ~ did you take that from my sunporch? (lol) I got the same containers last year (dollar tree) to do the citronella candles too.Yep, it sure is a pain to fill, but worth it in the end.Looks great!!

SatinDucky Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Guess it wasn't a very original idea then If you got yours last year, maybe that means they carry them each year. I only got three (early spring) and then wished I had gotten more. How did yours do? I only double wicked, but think it should have been triple :embarasse Guess I'll find out when I burn it...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You will be popular in the neighborhood. With a candle that big the bugs will stay clear for blocks (smile).....very cute idea. I have an unopened bottle of citronella oil that I will be using this year. I am going to search for a cute tin. Donita Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanya Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Be careful to seal the terra cotta pots, they can catch on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
