How To Make Candle Pie Tarts

If you’re a candle enthusiast looking for a fun and creative project, candle pie tarts may be just the thing for you. This candle-making tutorial will take you through the process of making candle pie tarts from scratch, including the base and frosting. With step-by-step instructions and a helpful video guide, even beginners can create beautiful and fragrant candles that look like miniature pies.

The first step in making candle pie tarts is creating the candle base. This involves melting and pouring wax, adding color and fragrance, and letting the wax cool and harden. Once the base is complete, you can move on to the fun part – creating the pie crust and frosting. This involves piping wax onto the top of the candle, creating a realistic and delicious-looking crust and frosting that will make your candles stand out.

The great thing about candle pie tarts is that you can customize them to your liking. You can choose your favorite scents, colors, and even shapes to create candles that match your decor or personal style. They also make great gifts for friends and family, or as a unique addition to your candle collection.

The video guide included with this tutorial makes it easy to follow along and ensure your candles turn out just right. Even if you’ve never made candles before, this tutorial will guide you through the process, helping you create a beautiful and functional piece of decor that will fill your home with lovely fragrance.

I’ve done embroidery on paper before and it’s a lot of fun. You can use a needle to punch out a particular shape to stitch, or my favorite thing is to take a copy of an old photograph or a page from a magazine and add stitched details to the original picture.

One thing I haven’t tried but would also be fun to do is cross stitching on paper.

This is a technique that requires a fair amount of preparation because you need to find a pattern you can easily transfer and print it at actual size, then use the pattern itself to help you decide where to put the holes in your paper. And then after all that you can do your stitching.

It’s a pretty straightforward process, but Crewel Ghoul has a great tutorial that walks you through how to do it step by step. It even includes a sample pattern you can print out and try for practice.

The post also has tips for starting and finishing your threads so that the back looks as neat as it can, if that’s something that’s important to you. (When I have done embroidery on paper I usually just tape the thread end to the back. If the back were going to show I’d probably just cover it with more paper.)

Stitching on paper is a fun way to make bookmarks or greeting cards, but you also need to make sure your paper is thick enough to support the holes you’ll be making in it. This post has a good rundown of materials you’ll need and what kind of paper is best. She used watercolor paper but I’ve used card stock and scrapbook paper that was a little thicker than the average printer paper.

You can always test a little on the paper you’re considering to make sure it will stand up to the project.

Check out the post, which includes a video, over at Crewel Ghoul for more tips for cross stitching on paper. Is this something you’ve tried before? I’d love to hear about it!
