Happy Kitchen Project: Floating Candle Fun

Day 22: Happy Kitchen Project: Floating Candle Fun

A really cute and easy way to make your kitchen happy is to use good ole mason jars, some floating candles (from the dollar store), some water and a bunch of colourful objects that make you or your children happy. Mix them all together and viola you have instant happy. Use the mason jar as a mini art gallery for your imagination. Think about what adds colour and interest to your table, both indoors and outdoors. We have some ideas for you! Keep reading…..

Our first mason jar was a mix of Rosemary, limes, lemons, and some essential oils. Not only did these jars looks beautiful with a natural aesthetic, but they also acted as an insect repellent. See our blogpost here for the recipe.

To make our floating candles fun and appealing for kids, we decided to  throw  a few colourful toys in the water.
