Funfetti Mason Jar Candles

January 9, 2019 by Shellie Wilson

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.

You can see the tutorial here.

Book Review: Merry Stitchmas

It might seem a little early (if you’re reading this when I’m writing this) to be thinking abut the holiday season, but cross stitching takes time, and if you want to stitch a bunch of gifts or decor for the season, that’s going to take some time. 

Merry Stitchmas by Emma Congdon is here to inspire you to get your holiday stitching started, with 24 fun and colorful designs. You’ll find wall hangings, ornaments, stockings, bunting, greeting cards and gift tags, cute letters made out of decorated gift boxes, another set of drop shadow letters, stylized snowflake hoop art and more.

There are folk art figures, a festive patchwork and plenty of word art, with lots of bold and not always traditional colors to go around. 

Some of my favorites include the bold graphic lettering on the ho, ho, ho bunting banner and the collection of little stamps, which she shows all stitched together but would also be cute stitched as individual gift tags or you could even make a stitched card with a fabric envelope and use one of these as a stamp. 

The charts are large and colorful and provide options for personalization and spelling preferences. One design says “My favorite color is Christmas lights” and it includes charts for both British and American spellings. Rows are numbered and the color key is in the center of the page spread, which could make it a little hard to read (I reviewed this in PDF so I’m not sure if the margin is big enough to keep the key out of the gutter). 

The back of the book includes instructions for how to stitch and read charts as well as making up instructions for finishing projects in the various ways shown in the book such as a wall hanging, framed picture, stockings, a pillow, hoop art and gift tags. There are also templates in the back for the shapes used.

This is a sweet book for people who like their holiday decor a little traditional but a little modern at the same time. 

About the book: 136 pages, paperback, 24 patterns. Published 2025 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
