#devotional crafts

Made a wick out of string because I couldn't get actual ones, waxed it so it would stay intact.

The old candles and empty Nutella jar that I removed the sticker from. Added more whites bc the candles weren't enough to fill the jar and I wanted to go for a light blue color.

During that time I made a sticker design to print and put on the candle, although I don't know if I'll be able to do so without removing the goddess part so that my parents don't question it (that sure as hell won't be good). None of the illustrations are mine btw.

Melted them and added frankincense I bought earlier that day because it's a sent associated with Lady Athena. I had so troubles with holding that damn wick, forgot to hold it by something before pouring out the hot wax and had to hold it myself till my dad came and rescued me with the clip. Left it overnight.

I accidentally got water in the hot wax and when it dried this morning I had to take it out and pour out the excess water, then put it back again and added it to a hot water bath so it sticks in place. After I added sage leaves on top, also associated with Lady Athena.

And that's it :D the small candle is my old candles that I dedicated to Lady Athena. It smells really good! I haven't lit it yet bc I'm scared to ruin it lol but I'm really proud of the outcome.
