Dollar Store Valentines

Are you a fan of your local dollar store? I love hitting the shop closest to my house and getting inspired from all the wonderfully random items they stock. This year, I teamed up with my friend Michelle from Printabelle to offer you some fun Dollar Store Valentines. She has loads of amazing party printables on her site AND she can also customize them for you for a small fee.

I sent Michelle some photos of my finds and she made these FREEBIES for us!

Here are my treasures from the store. And here’s what we did with them…

DIY Citronella Soy Candles

May 7, 2013 by Malia 39 Comments

Citronella Soy Candles

It’s that time of year where bugs (both good and no-so-good) are invading our backyards and patios. While I don’t want to do anything to hurt “helpful” bugs like spiders and ladybugs, I am not a big fan of mosquitos! The always seem to come buzzing around at that exact worst moment… like when you’ve invited your neighbors over for a barbeque and you’re JUST about to serve the hot dogs. Here’s a way to get those mosquitos and other flying insects to buzz off: make your own Citronella Soy Candle. The lemony scent of citronella can send the pests packing.

Citronella Soy Candles: Supplies

Soy Wax, Containers (I used glass jars from Ben Franklin Crafts Redmond), waxed wicks, wax (to adhere wick to jar– both items also available at Ben Frankin Crafts Redmond) and Citronella Essential Oil. You also need a food-safe thermometer, and a microwave safe container. Tip: A glass measuring cup with a spout is helpful. You’ll also need pencils or rulers and tape (for keeping the wick straight).

Step 1: Use a dab of wax to stick the metal part of the wick to the bottom of the jar.

Step 2: Press waxed wick firmly to make it adhere to jar. Tip: Use the eraser side of the pencil to if you can’t reach the bottom of the wick.

Step 3: Using a pencil or ruler and tape, suspend the top of the wick in the center of the jar.

Step 4: Melt the soy chips in the microwave. I used 4 cups of soy wax chips at a time. It took 8 cups of soy wax chips to fill the larger class container. In my microwave, it took three minutes for 4 cups of wax chips to melt.

Step 5: Check the temperature of the soy wax. It need to be at 180 degrees. Let the temperature fall to 140 degrees before adding 15 drops of citronella essental oil. Mix (I used a wood skewer).

Step 6: Carefully pour into jar and wait.

Step 7: Let the candle(s) sit undisturbed for 48 hours.

Step 8: If desired, print out these FREE Citronella Candle Labels for Yesterday on Tuesday by Printabelle onto White Sticker Paper (available at Ben Franklin Crafts Redmond).
