Candle Wedding Favors – Craft Gossip

Catalina Candles have the cutest candle favors for guests to take home as elegant thank you gifts. They would also make a fun display for them to remember the wedding with.

For a unique beach wedding, check out their “beaches” tin pail candle with authentic shells. They feature a pretty scallop-conch-starfish design on the outside with shells embedded in the wax. They’re finished off with a lovely organza ribbon.

Another charming beach themed wedding candle is their “seaside” beach candles. The set features a realistic looking starfish, conch shell and scallop shell.

If you’re looking for a more elegant traditional look, try their long stem rose candle in a showcase cylinder box with a ribbon. They come in red, white and pink but I find red to be most romantic. They would look pretty greeting guests at each place setting.

A whimsical candle that would make a great Vegas wedding favor is their “lucky in love” four suits candle set in an adorable display box.

The post over at The Crafty Mummy has the click-baity title of “Is there a right or wrong way to cross stitch?” Of course the answer is no. As with any other craft, as long as you are happy with the results you’re doing it right and no one should try to convince you otherwise.

That said, there are things that you can do to make your cross stitch a little better if you aren’t totally happy with the way your projects are looking. They might not be considered the “right way,” but they are important things to think about and if you want to deviate from these “rules” at least you’ll know that you’re doing it.

You can head over there to read all the tips, but it’s things like making sure your stitches are all going in the same direction (meaning you stitch the bottom legs of a row all in the same direction, then work back and stitch all the top legs in the same direction). You wouldn’t think something like that would make a huge difference until you don’t do it and then you can’t unsee it.

Most of things things aren’t rules so much as they are reminders to be consistent in what you are doing as you work a project. So however you start doing things like stitch direction or the number of strands of floss (I might even add using a hoop versus not, since the hoop can stretch the fabric and change the tension of the stitches a bit) you should continue in that way throughout the project in order for it to look its best.

Head over to The Crafty Mummy to read the rest of her list, then come back here if you have something to add. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
