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.

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.
