If you're interested in giving your leftover candles a new life, this DIY guide is just the thing for you. In fact, in our free guide, we'll show you how to turn that sad stearin scrap into beautiful candles with a beautiful colour expression. It's a fun way to incorporate recycling into your creative projects, and you're guaranteed some unique candle creations with a personal touch.

The sustainable candles are a great addition to your table settings for all kinds of festive occasions, but they can also easily add colour to your everyday decor.

In the kit, you get cotton yarn from DMC called Nova Vita 4, consisting of 80% recycled cotton and 20% polyester. If you want to change the yarn colour, you can do so by clicking on the arrow next to the yarn. Since the focus of this DIY guide is on recycling, you will need to provide your own candle scraps and recycled glass (e.g. a cleaned jam jar). However, if you don't have any glassware at all, you can find a varied selection of candle jars, bowls and jars for decoration in our hobby range.
