Other Household Items (not included):

Instructions
- Lightly coat decorative mold with cooking spray- it makes your candles pop out easier!

- Use hot pad to carefully remove Pyrex bowl or mason jar; quickly stir in citronella candle fragrance oil. (You can also add essential oil for added fragrance! Our favorite is lemongrass-it smells great and is used for repelling insects!)
