Also, my husband and family enjoy going camping from time to time...or building a fire in the back yard. So when I came across the pin, I thought it would be neat to try.
The original pin looked like this:

To do mine, however, I chose to use wax that was already melted in my house. I love candle warmers or tart warmers. But, eventually they loose their aromatic strength. I try to doctor them up, at times, with drops or whole bottles of scented oils; but after a while, I have to realize it's time to get a new candle or tart. UNTIL this pin came along.
I went to the local dollar store and purchased facial cotton pads like the ones below:
I then took, fresh from the warmer, my used up tart tin or the candle from the candle warmer. I laid out foil on my island, and using tongs, I dipped each pad into the melted wax and immediately laid them out on the island. WARNING: be careful that you are NOT hungry while doing this and that you do NOT use candles with scents like "apple cinnamon" or "sugar cookie" or "Pumpkin pie". They do end up looking like cookies to some (who might be on a diet at the time...and any hint of yumminess would be gladly welcomed). =)
REMEMBER: As I've told my kids...if you play with fire...you'll pee the bed. So when you make these...please make sure you wear pullups or something at night. ;o)
