Now that it's winter and most of us are in the house due to cold weather, the air in the house sometimes needs to be refreshed.
One way to freshen the air is by making a No-Flame Gel Candle. These are perfect if you're travelling or to use at home without worrying about little ones or pets coming in contact with an open flame. Keep a lid on the gel candle when it's not in use and the scent will last for several weeks.
To use, place the gel candle on a shelf, table or windowsill, but avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat. Keep a lid on the candle when not in use to extend its shelf life.
You can have fun making these candles and using various types of glass holders - they're also great to give as gifts. Enjoy!
