Scented candles in upcycling bottles from good wine and beer, created as an option for rational use of resources.
The process of creating glass from scratch is complex, resource-intensive and expensive. Glass bottles are best reused and recycled and can be recycled an infinite number of times. Upcycling greatly extends the life of the container, and once the candle burns out, it can be easily refilled with the DIY kit and enjoyed again and again.
The bottles go through the stages of disinfection and heat treatment.

Life hacks collected by authors:
- choose candles made of natural wax (beeswax, apricot, coconut, soy, palm, rapeseed). Such candles burn cleanly, without soot, and are safe for both children and pregnant women.
- pay attention to the wick. It is best to choose cotton or wooden wicks. This is organic matter that does not emit toxic substances when burned.
- burn candles for at least 2 hours, at least for the first time. The top layer of wax should melt evenly. If this does not happen, a "crater" will form in the middle, the wick and wax will not have time to burn out, and the candle may completely stop burning or lose its beautiful appearance.
- you should not burn the candle for more than 3 hours: this way the wax overheats, and if there are aroma oils in the candle, they stop giving off their aroma. If you want to use the candle for a long time, then extinguish it every few hours for 10 minutes - this time is quite enough for the wax to cool down a little and harden.
- candles must be extinguished with a special cap or cover, which is sometimes included in the kit - the candle will go out within 5 seconds. This is necessary so that the smell of burnt wick does not mix with the aroma of wax. A candle is a harmonious mood any day and a great gift for all holidays 💝
