Making citronella candles for couples is a fun and creative activity that can enhance your time together while providing a practical solution for outdoor gatherings. Start by gathering your materials: wax (soy or paraffin), wicks, essential oils (specifically citronella), a double boiler, and containers for your candles. Melt the wax in the double boiler, ensuring it reaches the right temperature. Once melted, add a few drops of citronella oil to infuse the wax with its natural insect-repelling properties. Secure the wick in the center of your container, then carefully pour the melted wax into the container, making sure the wick stays centered. Allow the candles to cool and harden completely before trimming the wick. Once finished, you can light your candles during romantic evenings outdoors, creating a cozy atmosphere while keeping pesky bugs at bay. Enjoy your homemade citronella candles together!
