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?

One of the best things about the return of warmer weather is getting to plant new flowers and starting the vegetable garden if you have one. Off to the Nursery by Alice Oehr is subtitled “a celebration of gardening, plants and seasons,” and it’s also a celebration of diversity (because gardening is for everyone) and caring for the earth.

The book starts with the work of getting the garden ready for spring, pulling out the old plants and spreading compost made from kitchen scraps. They grab tomatoes and peppers, learn about zucchini and eggplant and explore the tasty world of herbs.

They also look through the seeds, succulents, berries and fruit trees, flowers and aquatic plants, talking about the benefits of different plants and how fun they are to grow. Maybe you can relate to the family buying what seems like way too many plants?

The book was originally published in Australia, so some of the flowers mentioned might not be familiar to your or your kids, but that’s kind of fun, too. You can also use this as an opportunity to talk about which plants in the book can grow where you live and that just like animals, plants have preferred habitats, too.

Illustrations are colorful and the book combines a standard font and a hand written font to make it feel more like a journal about the garden. The illustrations include fun facts and growing tips such as always planting mint in a pot or germinating seeds on a wet paper towel before planting.

If you want to introduce kids to gardening or just talk about what kind of plants can be grown at home where you live (yes to tomatoes, probably no to the kumquat tree), this cute book is a great addition to your spring reading list.

About the book: 30 pages, hardcover. Published 2025 by Scribble US. Suggested retail price $18.95.
