Okay, that title might be a little misleading because this is certainly no substitute for scented candles — or even regular candles. However, it can help out in a pinch if the power goes out and you don't have any candles around. All it takes is some butter, toilet paper, and a toothpick. To fashion your own emergency candle start by cutting the butter in half and pushing the toothpick down to the base of the butter stick.
Next, take your toilet paper, fold it diagonally, and twist it to create strips. This will be your wick. Insert the twisted toilet paper and you have yourself a homemade candle.
