The scent of coffee combined with the candles’ glow makes me feel cozier than anything else. I’ve been brainstorming ideas for our upcoming \u003cem\u003eThe Candle Issue\u003c\/em\u003e, so I’ve had candles on my mind. It was during one of those early mornings spent on the sofa that I thought to combine coffee and candles. Rather than make a scented candle, however, I wondered if the warmth from a burning candle could release the scent of coffee beans. I was delighted to find that it could.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo do this, simply place a candle in a vintage \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ready-to-alter\/\"\u003etart tin\u003c\/a\u003e. I used vanilla-scented tea lights and votives. Pour coffee beans around the candle. Once you light the candle, you will notice the vanilla scent and the coffee aroma filling your room.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote: As your candle burns, the wax will melt, filling the tart tin. To clean out the tart tins when I was finished, I froze the melted candles and was able to pop the hardened wax and coffee beans out of the tin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristen Hammons is the Director of Publishing for Stampington \u0026amp; Company and Editor-in-Chief of \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/somerset-studio\/\"\u003eSomerset Studio\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cem\u003e, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bella-grace\/\"\u003eBella Grace\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bella-grace-book-of-lists\/\"\u003eBook of Lists\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/field-guide-to-everyday-magic\/\"\u003eField Guide to Everyday Magic\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-cozy-issue\/\"\u003eThe Cozy Issue\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003cem\u003e and \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/greencraft-magazine\/\"\u003eGreenCraft\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cem\u003e.
