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.

I’m honestly not totally sure what to say about the Sun King shawl pattern from Ursa Major Knits other than isn’t this cool? You should probably make one.

This modular design is worked in two parts, the “waxing” and “waning” sections. Both pieces are asymmetrical and use the same yarns in different ways to mix up the colors and make it even more interesting.

You can choose to use two contrasting solid yarns, a solid and a gradient or two complimentary gradients for your yarns. And you can use any weight of yarn and whatever gauge you like to make shawls of different sizes. There are also a bunch of different size options (seven, in fact) that take the project from a little collar like design to something more like a scarf to a large shawl that wraps around the neck to keep you warm.

The sample projects use fingering/lace weight yarn, but you can use whatever you have on hand to make your own beautiful version of this shawl. Using lace weight, you’ll need twice as much of one color as the other.

There are lots of yarn suggestions on the pattern page on Ravelry, and I love the color choices the designer made so much I’d definitely be tempted to use the same colors they did (there are a couple of different versions on the pattern page if you want to see how it looks in different sizes and different colors).

I love the little diamond shapes a the edges of the pieces, which add a little more drama to the project, as if it needed more.

I’m still not sure this boils down to anything beyond this project looks really cool and you should probably knit it, but that’s pretty much how I pick all the projects I share, so I guess that’s fine. You can check it out for yourself and grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
