DIY Funfetti Candle

July 17, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

DIY-Fenfetti-Candle

If you are looking for a fun and unique candle to make for a birthday or celebration, then this funfetti candle is just the thing. With its cute and quirky appearance, this candle is sure to add a touch of fun to any occasion. Plus, you can customize the scent to match your favorite dessert or party theme.

The best part is that making this candle is surprisingly easy. You will need just a few basic supplies, including a melt and pour soap base, candle dye, fragrance oil, and sprinkles. You can find all of these items at a craft store or online.

To get started, simply melt the soap base in a double boiler or microwave. Once it is fully melted, add your candle dye and fragrance oil. The amount you use will depend on the size of your candle, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully. You can choose any color and scent that you like, but a sweet scent like vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate would be perfect for this funfetti candle.

Next, pour the melted soap into a candle mold. You can use any mold that you like, but a simple votive or jar will work best for this project. Before the soap sets, add a handful of sprinkles to the top. You can use any type of sprinkles that you like, but colorful jimmies or confetti would be ideal for this candle.

Allow the candle to cool and harden completely before removing it from the mold. Once it is fully set, you can decorate the outside of the candle with additional sprinkles, stickers, or other fun embellishments. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative!

Making a funfetti candle is a great way to add some fun and whimsy to your candle collection. It is easy to make and can be customized to suit any occasion or theme. Whether you are looking for a fun birthday gift or a festive decoration for your next party, this candle is sure to delight. So, gather your supplies and get ready to create a fun and colorful candle that everyone will love.
