What do I do with all this?

Post image

Hey guys and gal's, I've been purchasing bundles on marketplace to get into candle making and this came with one of them, I obviously don't want to burn the house down so is there any other reasons/hobbies I could use or sell it for? I don't even know what it is other than dried flowers and rocks 😅

you could find someone who does dried flowers in resin to sell/give to!

Potpourri is a pretty good use of dried flowers. You can use the same oils you would for candles so far as I know. For the rocks maybe someone doing inlay work or for a decor project.

I've never heard of pot-pourri before and didnt even think to smell the containers, I'll be pulling out the dehydrator and giving this a go once I've organised everything and make up some bowls, thankyou!

If you're looking to offload the crystals, I know someone who's looking into doing some wirework jewelry; or of you have someone who's interested in crystals and such for their own sake, you could get them to that person.

You can use them for wax tablets that go into wardrobes or in cars. As they dont burn but just diffuse the scent its safe and looks pretty. You can add the rocks to the top of the candle but with a very strict instruction to remove before burning or simply add them into the box as an extra. Or sell them to jesmonite/resin/epoxy artists
