Cocooning alert! Dark days and snowy weather make us want to light beautiful candles in our living room and wrap ourselves in a cozy blanket. The Do It Team has selected 4 workshops to help you create your own scented candles to brighten the season. From a realistic iced matcha latte candle to a floral scented candle, a dried flower candle holder, and a 100% upcycled candle — you’ll love saying you made it yourself.
The most refreshing
Step into the world of candle making with Kimiko, a true enthusiast of natural products and DIY. This candle expertinvites you to create unique candles shaped like drinks — imagine a melting cocktail candle! You can choose both the fragrance and the design of your candle (matcha latte or iced coffee). Then, you assemble your creation and take it home once it has set.
The most floral
Dreaming of creating a natural and fully personalized candle? Head to the 1st arrondissement of Paris to craft your own piece. With essential oils (your choice!) and a wide selection of preserved flowers and botanical elements, you design a candle that reflects your style. The highlight? It’s poured into a coconut shell, creating a natural aesthetic. Lit or unlit, it’s a decorative statement piece.
The most countryside-inspired
For a spring-inspired experience, dive into the calming world of floral art and create a dried flower candle holder. Choose your favorite dried flowers and bring your design to life. It’s a true creative workshop: florist Mimi teaches you how to combine colors and textures, while using tools like pruning shears. You leave with a handmade decor piece to brighten your interior.
The most original
Calling all vintage lovers! Create your own scented upcycled candle in a shabby chic setting with Caroline. Using plant-based wax, you pour your candle into vintage objects (cups, dishes) to give them a second life. Choose your fragrance from a refined selection and leave with a unique decorative piece, both personalized and eco-friendly.
