Welcome home!

Today, I tried to surprise my parents on their first day back from New York with candles I made. I used actual lavender flecks from our garden for the scent in the candles. My plan worked, until the lavender caught on fire, which then spread to all of our mail and newspapers. Welcome home. FML

And that's why you use lavender *oil* for the scent...

You don't seem like the type of person who should be home alone for any amount of time.

candle making, i thought that was something only people with lesser mental ability do. You need supervision!

seriously, who makes candles for fun?

Use better wax, or make votives that stay in a holder. Good wax doesn't run if it's a taper, and the votive holders contain the wax so it doesn't spread.

alright, do you think that burning flowers will make the house smell like flowers? no. it will make the house smell like burnt plants.

I want to call fake on this one. I burn lavender OFTEN. Good, dried lavender. It chars, it smokes, but doesn't go into embers. In fact, I often mix it with sage, so there's something there to relight the lavender. Tiny flecks of fresh lavender coated in wax would NOT cause a fire. Might make a MESS... but not a fire.

Then that would further Alathia's point even further Tiny flecks of something coated in wax are less likely to cause an inferno than a whole flower, which isnt that dangerous in the case of lavender. please try to understand a post before being a snob about it
