DIY Bubble Candles You Can Make At Home

by

If you’re a candle enthusiast, you’ve probably seen the trend of bubble candles taking over social media. These unique candles have a textured surface that looks like bubbles, clouds, knots, or shells. They’re so beautiful that you may be tempted to buy one, but why not try making them yourself?

After doing some research, the author of this article decided to give bubble cube candles a try. Despite being warned that container wax may be too soft for making pillar candles, they experimented with a mixture of paraffin and container wax in a 2:1 ratio. The result was a successful bubble cube candle that was both beautiful and functional.

But why stop at a plain white candle when you can add some color? The next step is to experiment with adding dye to the wax for a colorful twist on this trendy candle. With a little bit of creativity and experimentation, you can make bubble candles in any color of the rainbow.

The process of making bubble candles may seem intimidating, but with the right supplies and a little bit of patience, anyone can create these beautiful candles. Plus, the satisfaction of creating your own candles is unmatched. So why not give it a try and see what kind of beautiful creations you can come up with?

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
