She Takes A Napkin And An Iron And Creates Amazing Candles

How to Decorate Candles With Paper Napkins

There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of completing a DIY craft project quickly and easily. And when that project is also practical and beautiful, it’s even better! If you’re a candle lover looking for a new project to try, look no further than this video tutorial that shows you how to make unique and beautiful candles using just a few simple supplies. With some napkins and an iron, you can create stunning candles that are perfect for gifting or just adding a touch of elegance to your home decor.

One of the great things about this project is how easy it is to do. With just a few basic steps, you can transform plain candles into works of art. First, choose some colorful or patterned napkins that you love. Cut out the design you want to use and place it on the candle, securing it in place with a piece of wax paper. Then, use your iron to press the design onto the candle, melting the wax just enough to adhere the napkin to the surface. After peeling away the wax paper, you’ll be left with a stunning candle that looks like it was custom-made just for you.

This DIY candle project is not only easy, but also affordable. You can easily find napkins in a variety of colors and patterns to suit your taste, and you probably already have an iron and some plain candles lying around the house. With just a little bit of time and effort, you can create a unique and beautiful candle that will make a perfect gift for any occasion.

One thing to keep in mind is that the iron may leave some residue on your napkins, so you’ll want to use ones that you don’t mind getting a little bit messy. And, as the intro notes, you’ll want to avoid using the iron on your clothes again to prevent any wax transfer.

This video tutorial is a great resource for anyone looking to try a fun and easy DIY project that results in beautiful and unique candles. With just a few simple supplies and some creativity, you can create candles that are perfect for decorating your home or giving as gifts. So why not give it a try and see what beautiful designs you can come up with?

Trees are an essential part of nature, both for the oxygen they produce and the habitats they provide to animals. But if you don’t live near a forest you might not think about all that happens within them very much.

The Secret Life of the Forest: Trees, Animals and Fungi, by Klára Holik, Ivi Niesner and Jana Sedlácková explores the inner workings of the forest, from the biggest trees to the smallest parasites, answering questions about the forest and sharing basic information about different kinds of forests, the water cycle, how to visit the forest and more. It’s aimed at kids ages 6 to 9.

It starts at the beginning with information on where seeds come from, how pollination happens and different creatures (and mechanisms like wind) that help move tree seeds and other seeds around in different forests. It talks about photosynthesis, how trees communicate with each other, tree rings, layers of the forest, how tree seeds move and how fungi and trees help each other.

Readers will learn about the oldest known fungus in the world, how ants help other animals to reproduce and what plant and animal parasites make trouble in the forest.

The book also covers decomposition, an overview of forest types from around the world (including the heaviest living organism), how fire affects forests, animals of the rainforest and swamp and ways people use wood.

Information is presented in bite-sized segments, with cartoony illustrations that are somewhat accurate to nature. You can check out some of the pages and watch a flip through on the publisher’s website.

It also includes forest experiments kids can try, such as building bird houses, looking for springs and checking ingredients on snack foods for palm oil, which comes from the rainforest. There’s also information on the best way to visit the forest to be respectful of the organisms that live there.

In the back you’ll find a glossary of some of the important words included in the book, and there’s a QR code teachers or parents can scan to get more information or learning resources.

This book provides a nice overview of life in the forest and how the plants and animals work together to keep it growing the way it needs to. It also covers a little bit of what humans can do to protect the forests we have left.

About the book: 64 pages, hardcover. Published 2024 by Albatross Books. Suggested retail price $18.95
