Description
What if you could make a candle with a wick you don't have to keep replacing?
Today I'm making my Forever Wick Candle using a simple metal wick that stays in place while the wax provides the fuel. When the wax gets low, simply add more and keep using the same candle again and again.
I'll show you exactly how I make the wick, put the candle together, and refill it when the wax starts getting low.
I'm also experimenting with scented versions using essential oils, including orange and eucalyptus. You could even make seasonal versions with your favorite candle-safe fragrance.
It's simple, inexpensive, reusable, and a great little project to have around for power outages or everyday use.
