The candle that never goes out and lasts FOREVER (easy recipe)

There's nothing quite as disappointing as settling in for a cozy evening, only to have your candle burn out far too soon. But fear not, this "forever burning" candle is easy to make, smells AMAZING, and lasts a really long time!

How to make a forever burning candle

Here's a simple DIY project idea from the YouTube channel "Simple & Fast" that's easy to do and uses common kitchen materials.

You can customize it into a decorative candle by adding gemstones, pearls, or other items in different colors and shapes. Plus, it smells great and can make your room smell lovely.

Materials:

• Glass cup
• Gemstones, shells, pearls, or acrylic diamonds (in your preferred color)
• Oil (olive, sunflower, etc.)
• Essential oil (in your preferred scent)
• Plastic bottle or metal can
• Cutter
• Scissors
• Soldering iron, hot screw, or knife
• Tissue paper

Directions: 

Step 1

• Clean and dry a glass cup.
• Place a few gemstones, shells, pearls, or acrylic diamonds at the bottom.
• Add water until the gemstones are covered.
• Pour oil on top until almost full, leaving about an inch of space.
• Add a few drops of essential oil.
• Cut off the bottom of a plastic bottle or metal can (I prefer metal can as plastic might melt), then trim it thinner with scissors.
• Use a soldering iron or another tool to poke a small hole in the center.

Step 2

• Tear a piece of tissue paper into smaller strips.
• Roll a strip thinly and tightly.
• Insert the rolled tissue through the bottom of the plastic or metal piece with the hole.
• Cut off any excess tissue at the bottom.
• Moisten the tip of the tissue in the oil and let it swell.
• Place the plastic or metal piece on top of the oil, ensuring the wick doesn’t touch the water.
