So I finally did it! I finally checked off one of my items on my Pinterest to do list. Saturday (as my title suggests) was a disgustingly hot and humid day in Toronto, and the pooch and I are no fans of heat or humidity (our hair simply can't handle it) so it looked like it was going to be another hide out in a/c kinda day, but what to do? Sure I could have cleaned, done laundry or organized the kitchen, but that's not fun, crafting on the other hand is fun, and can also be very rewarding. So off to my little shelf of craft supplies to pull out my votive candle making kit I purchased from Michaels last year.

I am not going to lie, I was bit apprehensive to do it, I thought somewhere in the instructions I read that the wax was easily flammable and not to go above the 170F or it would light on fire instantly. Little back story, I have a few fears in my life, fire being one of them (I know I know, I'm afraid of fire and yet I am making candles, well they're pretty and smell nice and as long as I have a BBQ lighter to light them all is good) so reading that, or at least thinking that I read that, well it terrified me. Now I know that the flash point of the wax is about double that of which I needed to heat it to and I apparently made the instructions up in my head.
