DIY Christmas Candles 2 Different Ways

The holiday season is a time of warmth, joy, and coziness, and nothing sets the mood better than a beautifully scented candle. Whether you’re looking to create a festive ambiance in your home or searching for the perfect holiday gift, candles are a versatile and beloved option. However, Christmas candles don’t need to be drastically different from other candles; it’s all about incorporating seasonal decorations and fragrances. With the right scents and decorations, you can create a candle that perfectly captures the essence of the holiday season.

This video tutorial provides you with two different ways to make your own Christmas candles. The first method is the bowl style, which is currently very popular and is perfect for gift-giving. With this technique, you can customize your candles to match your personal style and the recipient’s preferences. A second method is a traditional approach that involves creating a candle from scratch, with wax and wick. Both methods are easy to follow and require only a few supplies, making them accessible to even the most novice candle-makers.

By making your own Christmas candles, you can infuse your home with the scents of the season, such as cinnamon, peppermint, and vanilla. You can also experiment with different decorations, like dried cranberries, pinecones, and holly leaves, to create a festive and visually stunning candle.

Christmas candles don’t really need to be any different than normal candles,it comes down to using seasonal decorations and of course seasonal fragrant scents.

My daughter’s school has project-based finals instead of tests in the spring, and in her geometry class last year the students constructed a scale model of a town complete with three-dimensional buildings.

Of course building a paper town doesn’t have to include a geometry lesson (they also calculated the volume of their buildings) but it is a fun way to get kids to express their creativity by decorating the buildings and talking about the things they would want to include in their own town.

Putting buildings together is a test of fine-motor skills, and if kids are working on a town together they’ll need to negotiate what goes where and why.

Get started with the house printables from Kids Activities Blog. They’ve got a “plain” roof house and a “fancy” roof house to choose from. Just print, color, cut out and assemble.

You might want more than just houses in your little town, though, so I went hunting for some more printable templates you can use to make different kinds of buildings.

Brother has printable skyscrapers, cars, people, trees and lights (shown above) that are meant to be printed in color buy you can do them in black and white so kids can color them in if you want.

Printablee has another colorized set of paper buildings including different kinds of houses and something that maybe looks like a church or school.

If you’re willing and bale to pay for printables to use in your paper town, there are lots of great ones available on Etsy. Ludlow Prints has a collection with a school, grocery store, bakery and other buildings, while Paper Fun By Yumi includes things like a hospital, fire department and police station (essential if you’ve done a community helpers unit!).

Tiger Bee Learning has a printable set with 20 different buildings, including a bank, library, museum and zoo to name a few, as well as a blank template for kids to design their own buildings. Once you have the basics of making a piece of paper into a 3D building down, kids are sure to want to make their own buildings to add to the town.

Older kids can also write about why they picked the buildings they did, and littler kids will have fun building their town over and over again.
