Robin’s Nest DIY

Yes!! SUMMER is finally here!! It’s time for BBQ’s and patio parties! Here is a VERY simple project that is sure to make all your summer entertaining better.

You will Need:

You will need one large jar. How large is up to you. Mine is an8oz jar. You will also need a small jar or cup. I used another smaller jar (4 oz), citronella oil, some citrus peels ( I used orange, lemon, and lime), cinnamon sticks, a variety of herbs (I used cilantro and oregano), water, and a floating tea light candle.

Step One

Cut your citrus peels in strips or pieces, fill the larger jar with water. I did about half a jar full. Then add the citrus peels, cinnamon sticks, and herbs. Add the citronella oil till it’s about full then place the candle on top.

Step Two

There you have a citronella candle that will smell like citrusy summer. Your can put these around your patio to keep the pesky bugs away. Enjoy! I told you it was very simple!!!
