One of my favorite things about fall is being able to open the windows to let the cool air in, and burning a “fall scented” candle. It’s just super relaxing to me and it makes my house smell like Pumpkin Muffins, or in this case, Baked Apple Streusel. If you enjoy the smell of candles burning in your house, but are on a budget, you can easily make them yourself.
Making candles at home can save quite a bit of money, plus you can make them any scent and/or color you want. These also make great gifts!

Ingredients
- Candle Votive Holders Like these
- Unscented Candle Wax (3 Cups)

Instructions
- Take your unscented candle and start shredding it into flakes using a sharp knife.
- Take your glass votives, turn them on their side, and pour in about 2 Tbsp of Corn syrup.
- Using your finger or a paint brush, spread the syrup around to cover all of the edges.
- Quickly pour in your sprinkles covering the top of the votive and shake until the side rims are completely coated.
