Expert Tips & FAQs
Sprigs of fresh greenery like rosemary or lavender work in extra defense against mosquitos, but you can certainly use faux greenery as well.
Use wide mouth mason jars, in whichever size you'd like so you have room for your floating candles. If you decide to use larger than 16 oz jars, you can easily double the recipe called for in each candle as to not dilute the mixture too much.
