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.

A Whimsical Sock Pattern to Blow Your Mind

You probably know by now if you’re a regular reader (and if you’re not, welcome!) that I love a knitting pattern that’s a little silly or a little different from the usual. Classic patterns are great, too, but sometimes you just want to make something with a bit of whimsy. And when it’s super functional, too, that’s even better.

That’s the case with the Bananen-Socken pattern from Susanne Shahin. These banana socks are one of those patterns no one seems to be totally sure where it came from, and this free pattern on Ravelry explains how she makes them based on how she learned it.

It’s a sock that’s curved and when not on a foot it looks rather like a banana. There’s no heel, and you can use whatever number of stitches you need to make it fit your foot. If you’ve knit enough socks to know how many stitches you like you can just use that number, or the pattern notes include sizing charts to help. (It needs to be multiples of 2 for the ribbing.)

After working a traditional cuff, the body is made with ribbing on the back and welts (or what the pattern calls horizontal ribbing) on the front, which is what gives it the curved shape. There’s no heel, but there is toe shaping, but for the leg and the foot you just keep working the same pattern as long as you like.

I’m a little skeptical about how these socks will feel with ribbing on the bottom of the foot, but I’m definitely intrigued and will probably give them a try. 

The pattern notes are available on Ravelry in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. If you head to the pattern page you can see a photo of what it looks like on a foot, and it just looks like a normal sock.

Have you ever knit banana socks or do you want to now? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
