DIY Bubble Candles You Can Make At Home

October 5, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

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?

Knit Dinosaurs on a Circular Knitting Machine

Circular knitting machines are a lot of fun, and one of the best ways I have found to use them is to make seasonal decor and toys. I guess that’s because these are the kinds of projects that I don’t want to spend a ton of time on but still want to make from time to time.

That’s not to say that knitting machine projects can’t be detailed and time consuming. And really the great ones are those that take the time to add fun details to make the finished project that much more interesting.

Like these adorable dinosaurs from Three Magic Sheep Co. The pattern includes instructions for a triceratops and a stegosaurus. Here they’re shown in coordinating candy colors, which I love, but you can of course make yours in any color you like. 

The larger pieces of the body and legs are worked on either a 46 or 48 pin machine, while the smaller parts are worked on a 22-pin machine. I don’t know if a lot of people have both but the 22 pin machines are so inexpensive it’s nice to have both for projects like this. I’m not sure what she used for the triceratops horns, but in customer pictures on the listing it shows people have made them with both knitting and crochet so you can do that, too, instead of buying horns to use.

The details on these are really cute (you will want to buy safety eyes, or you can embroider eyes on if you’d rather) and customers note it takes longer to sew the pieces together than it does to crank them.

This looks like a fun pair of patterns to make for a dinosaur loving kiddo (or adult!) in your life. You can check out the pattern and all the customer comments and photos at Three Magic Sheep Co. on Etsy.
