Summertime Floating Candles in a Jar

April 29, 2013 by Kellie

You & your family or guests are going to love these Summertime Floating Candles in a Jar!  Let’s face it, who wants to be eaten up by bugs???

Summertime Floating Candles in a Jar
I’m a sucker for a burning candle.
They can cozy up a room in a heartbeat!  It doesn’t matter how big or small – they have the power to make you feel relaxed or make you remember a certain memory from their scent alone.  But you all already knew that!

All I did was gather up some of my favorite Summer scents:  mint, lemon, lime, rosemary added some water & this citronella bug off oil (read the views!) to mason jars.  Then I added some floating candles!  Super easy!   To make these Summertime floating candles in a jar from start to finish took less than 10 minutes!

The smell is positively divine, but I love all things citrus & herbal!  The rosemary & mint combined with citrus is pure heaven!  Plus I also love the smell of citronella when it’s not overpowering.  But trust me, come July, I’ll be a walking citronella candle to repel the vampire bugs.  But note *I would never want to repel Edward!*

These candles are naturally beautiful with their earthy green & citrus colors, but with their evening glow they become the perfect addition to your porch or your home for the warmer months ahead.  I think they would even be fun to bring to a family cookout or a outdoor party.
