Did you know that you can easily make low-cost, odorless, and long burning candles with Crisco shortening?! No melting and burning of wax to contend with and you probably already have the ingredients on hand! I found the most adorable mini Mason Jar Mugs at Bed Bath and Beyond and of course this project wouldn’t be complete without the addition of cute little crochet mug cozy! The perfect gift in a jar!
Materials:
– Small Glass Mason Jar Mugs (or any glass container with work). Please note that the crochet mug cozy only fits THESE mini mason jar spice mugs.
– Crisco Vegetable Shortening (or any brad of vegetable cooking lard).
– Thin strand of Cotton yarn (must be all natural fiber).
– Pencil

will be making this one!! Can essential oils be added for scents??
Dragua Kale says
Yes. Make sure they have a high flash point so the scent doesn't "go up in flames".

I love this idea!!! We don't have Crisco in Sweden but can use the stuff you make candles with. Had to share your post in my swedish crochet group on Facebook 🙂

I love these candles. My friend and I made some last night. We melted wax scents cubes and added it to the melted crisco in the jars. It was a cheap way for us to as color and a wonderful scent to the candles. Thanks so much for the idea.
Crochet Hooks says
great idea! love the cozy for sure. It hadn't occurred to me you could use lard or crisco for a candle! best part, if you need it back for cooking, you have it lol!
LH says
This looks like a great idea! Can you use coconut oil in place of crisco? It is the same consistency and smells like a tropical island 🙂 Let me know your thoughts. Tks!!

Can you tell me what size of mason jars these are (how many oz)?
