Floating Christmas Candle Ideas

by

With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about how you can add a festive touch to your home. One way to do this is by creating beautiful floating Christmas candle centerpieces. These centerpieces not only add a warm and inviting atmosphere to your home, but they also provide a stunning focal point for your holiday decor.

The first floating Christmas candle centerpiece idea is a Christmas jar with a floating candle. This is a simple yet charming idea that would fit perfectly into a cozy cottage atmosphere. To create this centerpiece, all you need is a glass jar, some fresh greenery, cranberries, and a floating candle. You can add a touch of personalization by tying a festive ribbon around the jar. I discovered this idea while browsing Be Different Act Normal, and it immediately caught my eye due to its comforting feel.

Another floating Christmas candle centerpiece idea is to use a sleek container with lemon slices floating in the bottom. This idea was found thanks to Allison at My Cozy Home. The contrast between the cranberries, greenery, and lemon slices gives this centerpiece a unique and fresh look. It’s a great way to add a touch of brightness to your holiday decor.

If you’re looking to add a little glamour to your floating Christmas candle centerpiece, you can consider adding gold glitter, confetti, or small Christmas ornaments to the mix. These additions will give your centerpiece a touch of elegance and sparkle. You can also add some personal touches, like using your favorite colored candles or incorporating your favorite holiday scents.

In conclusion, creating your own floating Christmas candle centerpieces is an excellent way to add a touch of warmth and holiday cheer to your home. These ideas are simple, affordable, and easy to customize. Whether you prefer a cozy cottage atmosphere or a touch of glamour, there is a floating Christmas candle centerpiece that will fit your style. So get creative and start creating your own unique centerpieces that will leave a lasting impression on your guests!

I discovered it after looking around at Be Different Act Normal.

Here’s a similar idea, only the container’s a little sleeker and there are lemon slices floating in the bottom.

I love the contrast of the cranberries and greenery against the added yellow! I found this thanks to Allison at My Cozy Home.

If you wanted a little glamor, gold glitter, confetti or small Christmas ornaments might add a nice touch.

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
