DIY Candle/Melt Warmer


Don't have a Candle Warmer or Melter at home but really want to use those Melts that your friend gave you?

I have finally figured out the simple way to enjoy the wonderful smells of melts before you make it to the store to get you a Melter. (Sometimes those melters and candler warmers can cost a pretty penny and not everyone has $25 of extra money to spend on a a tiny hot-plate for candles and tart melts. Nothing against the melters or candle warmers, I love them and not all of them are pricey)

Use your stove eye and a empty baby-food jar!



Get a shallow pot or a thick pan (like a small cast iron pan)
Put a small amount of water in the pan. If you put to much, when the wax melts the jar will be to light and may tip over.



Put your melt in the baby-food jar and sit it in the middle of the pan. Make sure the jar don't float.



Start your stove-eye at Medium - High and once the water is hot and starts to bubble a tiny bit, then turn it down to Medium - Low.


Keep an eye on your melts, If you keep it on for a long period of time you will have to add more water to the pan.

The smells of my melt covered my whole house and I was very surprised!
I decided to try this out while I was waiting on my mom to bring me one of her warmers so I could do a review and I got tired of waiting :-)

The TLC Soy-Candle Giveaway!



This review/giveaway is hosted by The Momma and Boys!







I am always looking for candles and wax melts that have a nice strong smell that lasts for a long time and not fade away just minutes after it starts. I believe I've finally came across one that works for me. TLC Handmade Candles has tons of different soy candles and wax melts to choose from and if they don't have the scent your looking for... They will do their best to find it for you!



I tried the wild honeysuckle and pumpkin spice and let me tell you they both smell amazing. I put them in my warmer and the scent lasted for almost a week.  From my experience most wax melts I've used, the scents would only last for about 2 to 3 days max. I was extremely impressed that the TLC melt lasted as long as it did. It was also refreshing to come home to a house that smelled good and as a mother of 3 rambunctious boys, I appreciate the fact that a stinky house was one less thing to worry about. We also have pets and I love to use eco-friendly products, so I am not a big fan of spray air fresheners because my youngest constantly messes with them.


Another thing I love about TLC Handmade Candles is that with being on a strict budget they're still affordable. 


I have to give kudos to TLC Handmade Candles for making a long lasting soy candles and wax melts.

Win some for yourself and see how you like them
