donate your used birthday candles instead of throwing them away. ecomonster.blogspot.com/2008/12/accepting-donations.html 100% post consumer recycled. {recycling process} These egg shells were rescued by a great friend who wanted to help spread the green message! Used vanilla candles rescued from a 2nd hand shop were then remelted to make these cute ones. Used birthday candles were then trimmed to serve as the wick. Then these are packaged in cute strawberry baskets with donated straw packaging. Tah-dah! 100% post consumer egg candles.
