Leather Scented Candles

October 4, 2011 by SandraW

A leather scented candle can evoke the rugged and adventurous spirit of a biker or cowboy. It can also remind you of the fresh and distinct smell of a new car. Western Skies, a candle supplier, offers a leather-scented candle called “Western Saddle Leather” that captures the essence of the wild west.

If you’re interested in trying to make your own leather-scented candle, you can find a variety of fragrance oils from candle suppliers. For example, Nature’s Garden Leather Jacket fragrance oil (this link is no longer available)  Leather Store by Candle-licious, and Leather by Saratoga Scents (this website is no longer available)  are all options to consider.

Leather Fragrant Oil  

Gentleman Leather Fragrant Oil

If you want to experiment with different scents and create your unique blend, you can try combining leather oil with other essential oils. Patchouli, sandalwood, and cedar are excellent options to pair with leather oil to create a unique, personalized fragrance.

Patchouli has an earthy, musky scent that blends well with leather, providing a warm and comforting aroma. Sandalwood has a sweet and woody aroma that pairs well with leather, providing a soothing and relaxing scent. Cedar has a fresh, woody scent that pairs well with leather and provides a calming and grounding effect.

When making your own leather-scented candle, it’s essential to follow proper safety guidelines to ensure that the candle is safe to burn. Use quality candle-making supplies, including a heat-safe container, a thermometer, and a double boiler or heat-safe container and saucepan to melt the wax. Always monitor the temperature and keep it below the wax’s melting point to prevent a fire hazard.

A leather-scented candle can provide a unique and captivating aroma that evokes the spirit of the wild west. You can find a variety of fragrance oils from candle suppliers to create your leather-scented candle. For those who like to experiment, consider blending leather oil with other essential oils like patchouli, sandalwood, or cedar to create a personalized fragrance. Always remember to follow safety guidelines when making candles to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

If you’re feeling daring, consider blending the oil with patchouli, sandalwood, or cedar.

Knit Dinosaurs on a Circular Knitting Machine

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.
