Christmas gifts from children can be fun and not costly. I like going to yard sales and buying used up old candles that are partially used. The children and I shave the candles. You can use a knife or whatever you need to break the candle wax up into chunks.
Then place the wax in bags. Put the colors separate and once in the bag, you will break the chunks up a little better in the bag. Old jars can be reused. You place the wick in the bottom and have the children sprinkle different colors of shavings into the jar. Once it is filled, you place you jars in the oven and heat at a low temperature.
The candles look brand new and take on so many different designs. You can put some fragrance oils in as well to give the candles a nice smell. The family will love the personalized candles from the children and you can even have them to use silver and gold pins and write special messages to their loved ones.
This is my favorite gift that only cost an average of about .50 cents to make and looks much more expensive.
