{DIY} Coffee Bean Candles


When fall rolls around, it’s fun to make your house feel cozy and warm. As the heat dissipates you don’t mind turning on the oven again to bake a yummy pie. The sun goes down earlier and you can light a toasty fire in the evening. No fireplace? A few scented candles are the next best thing. We added coffee and vanilla beans to these candles and the scent is so good you kind of want to eat it.


Here's our super simple version for you!

+Supplies+




Containers. Search your local thrift stores for some super cute ones like I did! 
Whole or ground coffee beans (depending on effect and container)
Tea light candles (any flavor!)



Instead of using just regular coffee beans, this is the perfect opportunity to use one of those crazy flavors like Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow Fluff Chocolate Cinnamon Caramel. The candles will let off the scent of whatever flavored coffee you use.
Or, if you want something more natural, nestle a few pieces of broken cinnamon sticks or a used vanilla bean into the coffee beans for a spiced coffee candle. The best part is that you can just keep swapping out the tea lights until the coffee stops releasing any aroma

+Instructions+

1. Fill each container with about a cup of coffee beans.



2. Tuck the tea light into the center of the beans and finish by wrapping as desired. See? Quick and easy!
