Advent candles

In the past we have always bought an advent candle but this year we have made our own. It doesn't have marked days on but I think that's good - we have never managed to burn it in keeping with the markers in the past.


We used a cookie cutter to make shapes from Stockmar wax sheets and pressed them on. Easy and not at all messy - which is good at this time of year I think when everything seems to be covered by glue and glitter!

I have an Advent candle that I've had for about 7 yrs. I'm down to number 8. It takes so long just to burn down to the next number. Each year I start off where I finished the year before but I still don't get the whole candle burnt!!
