The largest independent craft review site since 2007
Wanda from Two Crafty Mules shared this easy tutorial for a candle holder using silk roses and a a roly poly votive holder from the dollar store.
It’s perfect for someone into Victorian décor as I could see it fitting in with a lacy velvety backdrop. Maybe you could also pop one in the bathroom along with a strongly scented votive! To see the photos for the full effect and to get the tutorial, see Shabby Chic Rose Votive Candle Holder Project.

Yes, we know — it might seem odd to say “we’re not commenting” while… saying something at all. But here’s the thing: when a name so closely tied to the crochet world makes headlines for something this serious, not acknowledging it could feel like we’re sweeping it under the rug. And that’s not who we are. We have numerous posts and patterns that link to Jonah’s hands; these were all published PRIOR to any allegations. At this stage, we have not decided whether to remove the content.
We’re not here to speculate, fuel drama, or chase clicks on someone else’s pain. We’re here to clarify where we stand about Jonah’s Hands.
– This is a police matter.
– Jonah Larson is still a minor.
– We will not comment on the case.
We’ve always believed that crafting is a safe, supportive space. That doesn’t mean ignoring real-world events — but it does mean handling them with care and responsibility.
Let’s continue to support one another and keep this space kind, creative, and community-focused.
