I know we have posted about DIY Citronella candles many times before but this time I wanted to show you the packaging. Making candles can be so expensive when it comes to jar’s glasses etc. These candles are made using tin cans and bundled up into wire milk crates. Love this idea and really wanted to share. It’s a great idea for markets as you can sell them in a bulk lot. DIY Can Citronella Candles.
If you’ve been following along lately, you’ll know I’ve been on a bit of a baby pattern thing—and this sweet Floppy Teddy Bear fits right in with that vibe! With its classic shape, relaxed limbs, and vintage charm, this little bear looks like it just stepped out of a storybook or an old wooden toy chest.
This is a digital PDF sewing pattern, making it super convenient to download and get started right away. It’s perfect for those who love sewing cuddly companions with a rustic or nostalgic twist—just imagine this little bear nestled under the tree or perched on a child’s bed, well-loved and well-squished.
Whether you’re making it as a keepsake gift or just adding to your collection of handcrafted soft toys, this teddy is a timeless treasure in the making. Bonus points for sewing it in worn-look fabrics for an extra cozy, vintage finish.
