Soy wax candles: Xmas 2016 version :-)

I had a very late request for Xmas candles 😓 ⏳⌚ 😓 , but the good thing is that I had been given 100% of freedom on the choice of colors, decorations, fragrance, container 😃🎉🎇 This year, I've been so into glass recycling that I've been using jam jars for almost all my container candles.

As always, it is all soy wax with a bit of painting...
