Warm Cider Candles

This Candle in a Mug Mimics the Look and Smell of Hot Apple Cider

— December 4, 2014 — Art & Design
This Hot Cider Candle in a mug adopts the perfect packaging to go with the scent of the soy wax candle. Made with a blend of Macintosh apple, vanilla, winter spices and the smell of woodsy forest balsam, the candle makes a convincing replica of a classic cold weather drink in wax form. What makes this candle really stand out is the way it's been presented in an enamel mug to enhance the overall theme. The mug doubles as a cute piece of decor and makes a great gift to ensure that time spent curled up indoors this winter is warm and bright.

If you're experienced enough with making candles, this is a great idea for a DIY that you could really make your own, taking inspiration from other hot drinks like hot cocoa or coffee.
