Although conventional candles successfully produce endearing scents, they can unfortunately emit toxins into the air. A safe alternative is to take on a DIY project by designing your own candle with natural ingredients. A handmade grapefruit beeswax candle can be created with everyday items such as glue guns, jam jars, wooden skews, and braided wicks. Not only will recipes such as grapefruit beeswax candles eliminate the risk of toxins being emitted into the air, but they also actually purify the air while they’re burning!

Key Takeaways:

  • The ingredients that you must have for these candles are Beeswax pastilles, wicks, a jar and some skewers.
  • If you want to add a scent to your candles, you can use any essential oil that you find to smell pleasant.
  • If you are trying to burn your candles evenly, you will need to burn them long. This will help them last longer and not get wax everywhere.
