Pressed Herb Candles

March 22, 2016 by Shellie Wilson

Creating your own Pressed Herb Candles is a unique and fun way to incorporate the beauty and fragrance of herbs into your home decor. These candles are not only visually stunning, but they also provide a subtle and natural aroma that will make your space feel more cozy and inviting. With just a few simple steps, you can make your own pressed herb candles and enjoy the beautiful scent of lavender, rosemary, or any other herb of your choice.

To begin, you’ll need some soy wax flakes, candle wicks, a double boiler, and some dried herbs. You can use any type of herb you like, but lavender and rosemary are popular choices due to their relaxing and soothing properties. Other herbs such as thyme, sage, and mint can also be used.

For the instructions on how to get the herbs to stick so nicely check out this post. Pressed Herb Candles.

In addition to Pressed Herb Candles, there are several other DIY crafts you can use pressed herbs for. Here are four ideas to get you started:

  1. Pressed Herb Wall Art: Create your own unique wall art by pressing herbs between two sheets of paper and framing them. You can use herbs with different shapes and colors to create a beautiful and natural work of art for your home.
  2. Pressed Herb Soap: Add some natural fragrance to your bath routine by making your own pressed herb soap. You can use dried herbs like lavender, rosemary, or mint to give your soap a fresh and relaxing scent.
  3. Pressed Herb Stationery: Add a special touch to your correspondence by making your own pressed herb stationery. Simply press your favorite herbs between two sheets of paper and use them to create your own custom cards, notes, or invitations.
  4. Pressed Herb Sachets: Keep your drawers and closets smelling fresh by making your own pressed herb sachets. You can use any combination of herbs you like, such as lavender, rosemary, and mint, to create a custom scent that will keep your clothes smelling great.
