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.

Mini Pumpkins and Jack o’Lanterns to Cross Stitch

I just can’t resist sharing a few more Halloween cross stitch patterns when they are as cute and quick to stitch as these!

This boo cross stitch from Luzatolye was the first little Halloween cross stitch pattern to catch my eye. I love the pumpkin Os! At just 23 by 8 stitches and using four colors, you can stitch it up in no time. On 14 count fabric it measures 1.6 by.5 inches, or about 4 by 1.27 cm. 

Another cutie from the same designer is this jack o’lantern with a witch hat. Another four-color project, this one is 14 by 18 stitches, which is an inch by just a little more than an inch, or around 3 cm square, worked on 14 count fabric. 

If you like your minis a little bit bigger, this jack o’lantern with leaves is from White Protea Art and measures 47 by 28 stitches. That comes out to 3.4 by 2 inches, or 8.5 by 5.1 cm, when stitches on 14 count fabric. It uses nine colors. 

Or there’s also this little cutie from that same designer. I love the little leaf on top of the pumpkin. At 33 by 36 stitches, it comes out to 2.4 by 2.6 inches, or 6 by 6.5 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. I think it uses around eight colors. 

Template Love Create also has two mini jack o’lantern cross stitch patterns that I like (I swear I didn’t plan to do two from each of the same designers, it’s just the whimsy of an Etsy search!). There’s one that is more round and one that’s oblong, which I like because it’s different from most of the pumpkin patterns you see. The pattern listings say both are six colors (though they look like four to me) and 28 by 28 stitches, but I don’t think that can be true. Either way they both fit in a 3 inch hoop and would be a super cute little addition to your Halloween decor.
