As the sun sets later and you spend more time outside, try making these DIY citronella wine bottle candles. They are a great way to keep away those annoying mosquitoes. These candles are not only stunning, but they’re also functional!
Supplies:
Empty wine bottle
Replacement wicks
Citronella torch fuel
Marbles/Rocks
Funnel
Box Cutter
Instructions:
Fill approximately ¼ full.
Cut your replacement wicks to size, ensuring they’re long enough to reach the fuel, and come out of the bottle.
Continue to add a few more rocks until the bottom of the wick is covered. This will help to dissipate the heat evenly and prevent the flame from becoming too high.
Using a funnel, fill ¾ of the bottle with citronella torch fuel.
Cut a hole into the top of the lid and weave the wicks through the hole.
Light your DIY wine bottle citronella candles and keep bugs away!
Enjoy the nice weather and make these fun DIY citronella wine bottle candles! They are the perfect way to reuse those empty wine bottles while serving a practical solution for enjoying a bug-free evening outdoors!
