Watermelon Candles Just In Time For Summer!

Now get all of the summer vibes in candle form that you can enjoy no matter what the weather!

Nothing says summer quite like a big, juicy slice of watermelon. Now get all of the summer vibes in candle form that you can enjoy no matter what the weather! Aren’t these candles the cutest little summertime accessory you’ve ever seen? They would be perfect out on the deck or in an open window. Better yet, take these candles on the road to your next picknick or potluck! We used citronella oil to give the candles a nice scent, while also repelling nasty bugs all summer long.

See what we did in the video below, and get inspired to make your own candles this summer! We just love making candles here at Crafty House. Check out our lavender candles when you’re done with the watermelon candles! Happy crafting, friends!
