I had a three wick candle that smelled great but just would not burn correctly. I used it to make a ton of these room fresheners from old stuffed animals. You dip the animal in the melted wax, set it on wax paper, use a fork to fluff the fur, allow the wax to dry, and decorate with ribbons if you like. Be sure to set the animal on a doily or some other decorative item as the wax may stain wood. Here is a link to some instructions of how to make them from scratch:

These are adorable. You can use stuffed animals that you have around the house or pick some up at rummage sales or Goodwill stores. We used various sizes of teddy bears, bunnies, frogs, basically anything country. You can also add extra fragrance to the wax if your candle's smell isn't strong enough.

Super inexpensive gift and decorative idea! The kids can help, too!
