Nontraditional Advent Candles

December 18, 2012 by Heidi Gustad

Advent is a special time of year, marked by the anticipation of the coming of Christmas. For many families, the lighting of the advent wreath is a beloved tradition that adds to the excitement of the season. The advent wreath is typically made up of four candles, each representing a week of the season leading up to Christmas. However, not everyone has access to an advent wreath or may prefer a different approach to celebrating the season.

Kristin from Simply Klassic came up with a unique and rustic twist on the traditional advent wreath by creating a candle setup without the use of a wreath. The setup features four pillar candles arranged on a bed of greenery and pinecones. The simplicity of the setup is what makes it so charming, and the use of natural materials adds to the cozy and rustic feel.

What’s great about this setup is that it’s versatile and can be tailored to fit any home decor style. You can use candles of different sizes, colors, and scents to suit your personal taste. The greenery and pinecones can be swapped out for other seasonal decorations like holly, berries, or even ornaments.

If you’re looking for a new and unique way to celebrate the season, this advent candle setup is a great place to start. It’s easy to put together, and the materials can be found at your local craft store or even in your backyard. Simply light a new candle each week leading up to Christmas, and enjoy the warmth and coziness it brings to your home.

Okay, sewing friends… this one’s a total dream come true! If you’re anything like me and you love the thrill of planning your next sewing project before you’ve even finished the current one, then you’re going to fall head over heels for this Whole Store Bundle of sewing patterns. ?

This incredible bundle includes all the patterns from the shop – and it’s packed with flattering, wearable designs for every season, occasion, and mood. From breezy summer dresses to elegant staples you can layer up in cooler weather, this collection covers everything.

 It’s an amazing value – seriously, the cost of just a few patterns gives you access to the whole lot.

 Perfect for a capsule wardrobe – you can mix and match these pieces endlessly, customizing fabrics and lengths to your personal style.

Great for upcycling too – imagine giving old curtains, tablecloths, or thrifted fabric a whole new life as a chic handmade outfit!

Whether you’re just getting into garment sewing or you’ve been stitching up your own wardrobe for years, this bundle is a total win. And let’s be honest… there’s nothing better than saying, “Thanks! I made it myself.”
