There all beautiful but I’ve noticed that when I go to the dollar tree store a lot of times they don’t have it or only a few items so I get discouraged an give up 😞

[@southerncrushathome]

Sometimes I have to visit several stores to find everything I need-you can also shop online here (aff link) 👇👇www.southerncrushathome.com/dollartree

[@thedoodlefairy]

There is also the option to order them online. I was so tired of my dollar store running out of items, I find the online shopping a blessing.

[@laurakaszuba6785]

I like the seeds without the white outline best.

[@zay5456]

CVS has long glass candles for $1.99 or less...just saying

My friend lost her baby during delivery. She wanted a candle made with a specific essential oil. I used the Dollar Tree candies just like this. It was so special to her!!

[@southerncrushathome]

That is so thoughtful of you 😍

[@adaperez4770]

What a beautiful gift

[@Cinditaylor234]

That is so special and thoughtful. What a horrible loss!

[@lindacreber4373]

Or bless her 😭 xxxx

Did it have a scent to it? I was wondering if the pillar candles smelled great

[@pattijones1360]

I LIKED THE WATERMELON SEEDS JUST BLACK.

[@southerncrushathome]

Love all the candles. I liked watermelon candle without the white outline on seeds. Great diys

[@southerncrushathome]

Thank you 😊

[@pamelachan7004]

That’s the best part of DIY.. if you don’t like the outline on the seeds, then don’t put it on yours

[@zay5456]

I agree but without any seeds was cool also

[@jonisalcido5669]

❤ I have watched several $ tree candle demos, but your is definitely the best one❤

Love love love the watermelon candle . I think just black seeds would be cute . I'm so excited about making some of these candles .

[@southerncrushathome]

I’m so glad!!!! 🙌♥️

[@KandyKoatedKrafts]

Just a white highlight on the black watermelon seed would have looked better imo…

[@shantavahsbeautyandbeyond4021]

I'm getting ready for a craft show and these are some great ideas

[@southerncrushathome]

Wonderful! Have fun and good luck!! 🍀

[@a.katherinesuetterlin3028]

Wow! I love the ideas here! Never honestly thought of grabbing these tall candles, wax melts and scents to experiment with. I mean, I did do a similar thing back in 2020 with older, used-up wax from the 3-wick candles you get at Walmart, but I was having to do a workaround with one of those long grill lighters because the power was out for a week due to a big storm we'd had.😅 The two candles I melted down made 2 smaller Mason-jars' worth (I had later gone to my friend's apartment to do a final melt-and-pour with her melting pot), and because both candles had fall/winter scents and colors, they smelled divine! 😁 But these ideas are superb!

[@southerncrushathome]

Wow 🤩 thank you so very much! I appreciate you

[@barbaraplourde5777]

I personally like the seeds on the watermelon candle black. I enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@southerncrushathome]

I’m glad you’re here! 🤗

Great projects! And all these will give many of us lots of other ideas!

[@southerncrushathome]

[@lavellekirby4673]

Most watermelon seeds are just black, but the added white gave it your special touch.

[@southerncrushathome]

You said it perfectly! Thank you my friend ❤️

[@suecoulsting5123]

I liked all of your candles

[@southerncrushathome]

Thank you

I want to transfer photos onto a frameless candle

[@angiericouard792]

Loved the watermelon and latte. I liked the watermelon without the white. I think I might make a coffee bean candle now.

[@southerncrushathome]

Awesome 🤩 thanks for watching 😎

[@triciadavid3666]

I think the white is cute. It's has a animated fun look to it!😊

[@southerncrushathome]

Thank you 😊

[@sandysue202]

Definitely the latter candle! Due to strick financial restraints this year, I need to make Christmas gifts and I love powerful smelling candles. I will make some for myself and experiment with the scented wax melts, scented votive and essential oils. Sounds like fun!

[@southerncrushathome]

Yes! I also have these kits if you’d like to check them out southern-crush.myshopify.com/products/candle-making-kit

[@BlueHazyDreams]

These are sooo cute! Premade elsewhere I could easily see these candles selling for $20. Would make really thoughtful, creative gifts for cheap, win win.

[@southerncrushathome]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you liked the candles.

Hey Melanie just wanted to let you know I bought that Ninja coffee maker a couple weeks ago and I love it. I had the Kerrigan for years n years but discovered that even though I did the cleaning with the vinegar as they stated, mildew grew inside the reservoir thus the new coffee pot.
