LET’S GET LIT… FALL STYLE!

Grab your bestie and come get crafty at our upcoming Wooden Dough Bowl Candle Workshop! 🧡

You’ll get to create your very own cozy fall candle with:

A rustic wooden dough bowl
Creamy soy wax
Your scent of choice
Adorable fall accents to make it extra cute

Pour it. Scent it. Decorate it. Then take home a candle that’s basically fall in a bowl. 🍁

And because crafting is even better with a drink in hand, you can sip on a tasty cocktail while you create! 🍹✨

Perfect for a girls’ night, date night, or just an excuse to sip, laugh, and make something pretty!

✨ Space will be limited! Workshop date, time & sign-up details are coming soon.

Tag your favorite crafting buddy and tell them: we’re making candles! 🎃
