Description
Citronella is a naturally occurring insect and animal repellent. Imagine using this candle in the middle of a table for your next BBQ; to keep mosquitoes and flies away while you enjoy the company of those near and dear to you.
These candles are made from upcycled Wine Bottles collected from my own collection as well as that of friends and family. All bottles are hand-cut, sanded and polished as well as hand-poured in small batches with 100% natural soy wax and scented with fragrance.
Please note the following:
- These candles are made from wine bottles with a domed base, called a punt. This means the bottom of the wick sits on top of the punt, a few centimetres higher than the base of the vessel and can only burn down this far; this leaves a small amount of wax around the punt. Once your candle has burned down, there will be wax left due to the structure of the bottle. To remove excess wax, place the candle in the sink and pour boiling water into the container and let it soak, being careful not to get the label wet. After a few hours, the wax will float to the top and solidify. Remove the wax and wipe out any remaining residue in the container.
- All bottles are hand-cut and polished and therefore may have minor imperfections.
- Because we are using natural ingredients and products, naturally, there might be small imperfections in the wax.
