Funfetti Mason Jar Candles

by

If you’re looking for a fun and unique way to celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, why not try making funfetti candles? These candles are not only easy and affordable to make, but they also add a touch of whimsy to any event. All you need is some funfetti cake mix, a mason jar, and a few other simple supplies to get started.

The funfetti candle tutorial is a great option for those who are new to candle making or those who are looking for a fun project to do with kids. You can easily customize the candles with different scents and colors to fit the occasion, and they make great gifts for family and friends.

The process of making funfetti candles involves melting candle wax, adding fragrance and color, and then pouring the mixture into a mason jar that has been decorated with funfetti cake mix. Once the candles have cooled and solidified, you can light them up and enjoy the sweet, vanilla scent and colorful sprinkles that will be released as the candle burns.

These candles are not only visually appealing but also offer a warm and cozy ambiance to any space. They can be used as a centerpiece for a special occasion, as a decorative item in a bedroom or living room, or simply as a way to add a sweet aroma to any room in your home.

Build a Paper City with Free Printables

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.
