Room Freshener Repurposed

I bought this Glade room freshener a while ago. It's run its scent-life and I'm no longer interested in having leaky chemicals mask the smell of my bedroom. The perfumed goo can go, but I'll keep the glass! 
I discarded the remaining gel but kept the plastic insert frame. 


 I have a tub of old crayons in my basement, so I picked a few shades of red and melted them down. I'll have to find a better way of doing this, because the glass container cracked in the process. Oopsie. I then poured the wax into a heart-shaped cookie cutter and let it cool for about a minute. 


 While the wax was still warm, I gently pressed it out of the cookie cutter. Using natural wax paper as a backdrop, I taped the heart onto the paper in the plastic insert and then slid it back into the glass. 

I guess my next step is to (slowly) ween myself off of scented candles (why?- check out this article). That will be much harder than ditching the air freshener. One step at a time.
