Cantrip Candles’ candles focus on creating immersive sensory experiences through scent. Identify a strong, positive scent memory from your past (or a member of your household’s past) and attempt to recreate the scent as a candle. You may use old scraps of candles or wax, cotton thread or floss, a recycled glass jar or other non-conductive container, essential oils, and non-flammable elements from your kitchen. Submit a photo of your candle with elements in the picture that indicate what the smell was, and comment with how successful you were. Remember: safety first!
