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 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.
