Craft paper bags

I love craft paper! You can use it for many projects and a roll will last for quite a long time!
A while ago I was looking for nice small bags for my home-made lip balms but I didn't want to spend a fortune by going to a craft shop (even if I would have loved to! ahahaah).
I love the fancy, tiny, colourful and perfectly sized bags you can find for example in Confetti stores (in UK) or Loisirs et creation (in France) but they are pretty expensive...
I remember I found a video (link to the video) on Youtube showing how to gift wrap very small items by only using wrapping paper, double sided adhesive tape and scissors.
I gave it a try myself with crafting paper and here you can see the result! Nice and simple, isn't it?

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
