How To make Scented Candles With Flowers

Candles are a beautiful and versatile way to add warmth and ambiance to any space. They can be used to set the mood for a romantic evening, to create a cozy atmosphere for a relaxing night in, or simply to add a touch of beauty and fragrance to your home. If you’re a fan of candles and love DIY projects, you’ll be delighted to learn how to make these adorable candles with dried flower petals.

These candles are not only beautiful to look at, but they also smell amazing. The secret lies in using soy wax, which has a clean and natural scent that won’t overpower the delicate fragrance of the flowers. Soy wax is also a great choice for candle making because it burns more slowly and cleanly than traditional wax, making it better for the environment and your health.

In this candle making tutorial, you’ll learn how to use soy wax to create a beautifully scented candle that’s embellished with dried flower petals. You’ll start by melting the soy wax and adding your choice of essential oils to create your desired scent. Then, you’ll pour the wax into a jar and add the dried flower petals, pressing them gently into the wax to create a unique and beautiful design.

The result is a stunning candle that will fill your home with a delightful fragrance and add a touch of elegance to any room. These candles also make great gifts for friends and loved ones, and the process of making them can be a fun and relaxing activity to do with family or friends.

I came across the Etsy shop Bad Stitched when I was looking for bookmark cross stitch patterns and found their adorable pride bat bookmark, which I didn’t share then because I was going for more of a back to school vibe, but it’s definitely worth checking out if you love rainbows and bats.

This Etsy shop is big on whimsy and color, but not on organization, as there are not categories. Still, as of this writing there were only a little more than 60 patterns, so it’s small enough to scroll through.

In keeping with the theme of the bat bookmark, there are a lot of designs with animals and insects in different colors. Another one that caught my in this neon cicada with a crescent moon and stars. This one is 85 by 70 stitches and uses 16 colors. On 14 count fabric it comes out to 6 by 5 inches, or 15.4 by 12.7 cm.

You’ll also find patterns with animals such as mice, a snail, a jellyfish, a wolf, a corgi in a birthday hat, a fat seal and other bat designs. There are several mushroom designs, a pirate frog, and a scuba diving ghost (among other ghostly designs). You’ll find cats and mythical characters, a mouse thinking about eating strawberries and more.

There’s also an ebook full of mushroom designs, and another of creepy creatures for Halloween and beyond. There’s also a Pantheon bundle, full of gods, goddesses, characters from mythology, three amphora designs and a Greek inspired font.

If these sorts of designs sound like something you’d like to stitch, check out Bad Stitched on Etsy.
