two candles sitting on top of a wooden table next to a basket filled with food

If this were Tosh.0, I would be calling this a "web redemption". Last year I saw a tutorial online for DIY grubby candles and attempted to make them myself (see my attempt here) only I didn't have all of the materials that the tutorial suggested (I used hot chocolate instead of instant coffee, and coffee grounds were the main ingredient in the coating). They looked good at first, but very soon the coating started to crack off of the candles. Pretty soon I had to throw them away. While I…

there are many hot dogs on the counter ready to be cooked and put in the oven

I just wanted to share with you my grunging process. I started out with a white pillar candle I got at a garage sale for 50 cents. I put it in my makeshift double boiler that is a gallon food tin and a stock pot I bought at a garage sale to use this way and also for when I tea dye. Then I took all the little tea lights out of their metal casings and took out the wicks. I bought a bunch of boxes at Dollar Tree in the half price bin. I didn't care too much about the scent because the cinnamon…
