Hand Rolled Cinnamon Bun Candle Instructions

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!

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!
