#cheap magick

Candles and wax are used a lot in magick. Fancy, good smelling candles are really expensive though - well, they aren’t anymore!

Dollar stores like Dollar Tree have candles and candle holders, but they generally only have white candles (or white and red). This is okay but sometimes a witch just needsthat colored candle or wax. Here’s how I make my own colored candles on a budget.

Note: I have a wax warmer that I use for this project, got it on sale at Walmart, its normally 15$ + tax (if you don’t have a wax warmer you can melt your wax in the microwave, but please do it in increments of 15 sec or less and make sure it does not catch on fire.)

Supplies - total cost 2$ (if you don’t already have these things lying around your house)

• Tea light candles (pack of 16) - 1$ at Dollar Tree
  
• Crayons (pack of 48) - 1$ at Dollar Tree
  

How to make it

• Take the wax and wick out of the aluminum holder, careful not to crumple it
  
• Separate the wax from the wick
• Select the color you want from the crayons
• Put the tea light wax and a chunk of crayon into the wax warmer and let it melt, stirring it together.
• There you have it! Colored wax! If you’d like it to be a candle, place the wick back into the aluminum that the candle came in and pour the colored wax around it.

Hope this inspired some of ya’ll to get witchy even when you feel like you can’t afford it!
