DIY votive candles for couples is a fun and creative activity that allows partners to bond while crafting personalized candles. Start by gathering supplies such as wax, wicks, essential oils, and decorative containers. Melt the wax using a double boiler, and once it reaches the right temperature, add your chosen essential oils for fragrance. Secure the wick in the center of your container, then carefully pour the melted wax into the container, ensuring the wick remains centered. Allow the candles to cool and harden completely before trimming the wick to about a quarter inch. You can also customize the candles with colors or embellishments that reflect your relationship. Once finished, light the candles together during a cozy evening at home, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. This hands-on project not only results in beautiful candles but also strengthens your connection as a couple. Enjoy the process and the ambiance they create!
