• Cinnamon sticks
• Pumpkins
• Pencil/skewer
• Soy wax flakes
• Tin foil
• Wicks
• Wax coloring (optional)
• Cinnamon oil (optional)

1. Glue a piece of tin foil to the bottom of the pumpkin.
2. Attach the wick to the bottom of the pumpkin.
3. Roll the top of the wick around a pencil or skewer to hold it upright.
4. Melt the wax – you can use a double boiler, or to make it easier, we just used a pyrex glass and a microwave!
5. Pour the wax into the candles.
6. Crush up your cinnamon sticks and add them to the wax for a wonderful cinnamon smell! (For a stronger smell, you can also add cinnamon oil.)
7. Let the candles sit for a couple of hours to allow the wax to harden.
