I’ve enjoyed making candles for about 5 years now. It’s a lovely mindful time where the room fills with delicious scents and my mind slips into the rhythm of careful melting, mixing and pouring. Over the years I’ve used all sorts of vessels to make candles but never wine bottles which have such a lovely warm glow. Over the past few months one thing led to another and my lovely husband has mastered
the art of cutting and carefully sanding wine and beer bottles. While it’s not a new concept to recycle bottles into candles they are harder to come by as attempts would drive most people slowly insane! My husband is a patient man (my mother would agree!). Once the vessels are ready, I hand pour the candles with this amazing creamy soy wax which burns just perfectly with excellent scent throw (meaning you can smell the candle when you walk in the room!). The label is inspired by our home on Carlton Street. The leaves on the label are from the golden elms which run down the centre of the street. I love gazing out the window at them as they catch the light. Please note the bottle candles do have imperfections as they are handcut and repurposed. Thanks for visiting my page!
