DIY Candle Making Safety
Last week I mentioned scented candles, and whenever I smell a scented candle, it reminds me of my childhood.
My father, an ex-hippie, was very DIY back in the day. That included making his own custom candles.
I was about five years old at the time, so I don’t remember much, but I do remember he was in the kitchen stirring a pot of melted wax on the stove, when he decided to add some cologne to the mix to make scented candles.
Maybe it was the fact that he was also smoking like a chimney at the time, but somehow the whole mess exploded and hot candle wax got all over him. The result was severe burns, and he still has the scars to prove it.
While that story remains in the what-not-to-do category, click here for tips on safely making your own candles at home, and stay tuned for more DIY candle-making discussions.
