Make your own DIY pumpkin spice candle this fall with just a few supplies!
I can’t think of anything other than an autumn scented candle to get me in the mood for fall. The smell alone can instantly make me feel like I am wrapped up in a cozy blanket, sipping on mulled cider.
When I saw that Darby Smart had a pumpkin spice candle scent for sale, I knew I had to use it! This DIY candle is so easy! Simply decorate the votive with a gold gilding pen, melt the wax, and pour. Candle making is such an easy craft to do for those days you feel stuck. To me – it’s one of those things that seems way harder than it really is. I’d say buy a few bags of wax, and a few extra votives, and make multiple candles to give away as hostess gifts! You can read more about the benefit of making homemade candles here.

DIY Pumpkin Spice Candle for Fall
Equipment
- Fall Themed Stencils
Materials
- Gold Gilding Pen
- Large Glass Votive
- Soy Candle Wax
- Soy Candle Wicks
- Pumpkin Spice Candle Scent
- Scotch Tape
- Bamboo Skewers pencils work too
Instructions
- Make sure your votive's surface is clean. Place a fall stencil on the glass, press along the edges to make sure it is secure, then color in with a gold gilding pen.
- Allow the gold to dry, then carefully remove the stencil, and repeat as many times as you'd like!
- Once the votive is decorated, it's time to melt the wax. Using a Pyrex glass container, melt 4 cups of wax. Do this by microwaving for 45-second increments. Stir in between sessions. Add in one more cup of wax, and continue to microwave until the wax is completely melted.
- Stir in 4 tsp. of scent, or more if you prefer a stronger candle. I used three, and wish I would've done more!
- Secure a wick between two bamboo skewers using tape. Dip the bottom of the wick (the metal part) in the wax, and before the wax hardens, place the wick in the center of the votive. Doing this will help keep the wick in place while you pour.
- Pour the wax into the votive. If your wick becomes dislodged hold it in place for a moment until the wax begins to harden.
- Allow the wax to completely harden, then light and enjoy!
I have never made my own candle but it looks like a great project for my daughter and I to try!

Hi friends! That was an interesting article—I really enjoyed reading it—but I came here to ask: what role do CS2 skins play on gambling platforms? What advice can you give me? I’d really appreciate it.
Hey everyone, I’ve been wondering how much CS2 skins actually influence the way gambling platforms work, because they can act as both digital items and something users wager with. I recently came across cs2go.gg and it helped me understand how CS2GO works as an independent information hub rather than a gambling operator, while also comparing different platforms and explaining their main features. What I found interesting is that the site covers both skin-based gambling platforms and CS2 betting sites focused on match odds, so the role of skins can be viewed from several angles. For me, the most useful part is being able to check how a platform works, what rules apply, and what options are available before making any decision. I also think regular updates and objective reviews are helpful, especially when bonus offers and platform features can change over time. Personally, I’d always treat skins as something with real value and only risk items or funds I could afford to lose.
Hi! This is an interesting article—I really enjoyed reading it. I actually came here to ask: what can cause delays when updating a gaming application? Do you have any advice? I’d be very grateful!
Hey everyone, I’ve noticed that gaming app updates sometimes take much longer than expected, even when the new version doesn’t seem to add many changes. I came across similar issues while reading about platforms like Royal Reels, and checking resources such as royal reels online casino can help users understand mobile compatibility, interface features, and the differences between platform versions. From my experience, the most common causes are unstable internet connections, insufficient storage space, outdated operating systems, or temporary problems with the app store. Sometimes an update also gets stuck because background downloads are running or the device needs a restart. I usually check the available storage first, make sure the connection is stable, and then try reopening the store before attempting the update again. It’s also worth downloading applications only from official sources and checking system requirements before installing a new version. These simple steps can save time and help avoid unnecessary installation errors.
