Hand Rolled Cinnamon Bun Candle Instructions

May 18, 2011 by SandraW

Candle making is a fun and rewarding hobby that allows you to create your own personalized candles. One of the most popular types of candles is the cinnamon bun candle, which not only smells delicious but also looks adorable. However, many candle makers are put off by the need for a mold, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Fortunately, Starla from Wicks and Wax has come up with a solution – a tutorial for making cinnamon bun candles without a mold!

Starla’s tutorial is incredibly detailed and well-written, and best of all, it’s completely free! She generously shares her knowledge and expertise, and even offers the option to purchase a kit if you prefer. But don’t worry, the kit isn’t mandatory – you can easily gather the materials you need yourself.

To make cinnamon bun candles without a mold, you’ll need cinnamon roll fragrance oil, candle wax, wicks, real cinnamon, a pizza pan, scissors, and a knife. Starla emphasizes that you don’t need expensive molds to make these candles, making it an affordable and fun project for anyone to try.

By following Starla’s step-by-step instructions, you’ll be able to create your very own cinnamon bun candles that look and smell amazing. The tutorial is easy to follow, and even includes helpful photos to guide you along the way.

So why not give it a try? Head over to Candle Making Instructions: Cinnamon Buns for the full tutorial, and let us know how it goes if you try it! Making your own cinnamon bun candles without a mold is a fun and creative way to enjoy candle making without breaking the bank.

As Starla says,” You don’t need a lot of fancy expensive molds for the cinnamon roll.  Why waste all that money on molds, when candle making can be inexpensive, after all what you really want is fun, not expense.” You got that right. I’m hunting down my cinnamon! See Candle Making Instructions: Cinnamon Buns for the full tutorial and let me know how it went if you try it.

Knit Dinosaurs on a Circular Knitting Machine

Circular knitting machines are a lot of fun, and one of the best ways I have found to use them is to make seasonal decor and toys. I guess that’s because these are the kinds of projects that I don’t want to spend a ton of time on but still want to make from time to time.

That’s not to say that knitting machine projects can’t be detailed and time consuming. And really the great ones are those that take the time to add fun details to make the finished project that much more interesting.

Like these adorable dinosaurs from Three Magic Sheep Co. The pattern includes instructions for a triceratops and a stegosaurus. Here they’re shown in coordinating candy colors, which I love, but you can of course make yours in any color you like. 

The larger pieces of the body and legs are worked on either a 46 or 48 pin machine, while the smaller parts are worked on a 22-pin machine. I don’t know if a lot of people have both but the 22 pin machines are so inexpensive it’s nice to have both for projects like this. I’m not sure what she used for the triceratops horns, but in customer pictures on the listing it shows people have made them with both knitting and crochet so you can do that, too, instead of buying horns to use.

The details on these are really cute (you will want to buy safety eyes, or you can embroider eyes on if you’d rather) and customers note it takes longer to sew the pieces together than it does to crank them.

This looks like a fun pair of patterns to make for a dinosaur loving kiddo (or adult!) in your life. You can check out the pattern and all the customer comments and photos at Three Magic Sheep Co. on Etsy.
