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?

If you want to feel personally attacked by a collection of knitting and crochet patterns as I was, check out the “90s Mod Inspired” pattern lookbook from Yarnspirations.

It’s actually a great collection of patterns for folks who want to stitch up that Y2K look again (or for the first time). There’s an oversized, striped grandpa cardigan! A (crocheted) plaid messenger bag! A boxy argyle vest, and a rolled hem sweater the likes of which I bought in a store in the ’90s and knit a replica of later.

There’s also a section of “Prep School” patterns (think “Clueless,” they’re even called things like “As if” and “Betty”) including a granny square tie and crocheted wrap skirt, and a knit cabled pullover, beret and cardigan with blocky stripes. Other sections include casual collegiate, punk and mod, and academia.

Some of the patterns repeat among the sections but there’s a nice selection for people who want a little throwback for their back to school and fall wardrobes.

Since I had this sweater, we’ll take a closer look at the Caron Cropped Stripy Sweater. The one I knit from a pattern of my own devising in the mid ’00s was tonal blues, but this one calls for two colorways of Colorama Haze, a fuzzy self-striping worsted weight yarn.

The pattern comes in six sizes, with chest measurements ranging from 39 to 60 inches (that’s 99 to 152.5 cm). Clearly that’s a lot of ease at the lower sizes, since the smallest size is meant to fit an actual chest measurement from 28-34 inches, or 71-86.5 cm.

The sweater is a modified drop shoulder worked flat in pieces and seamed. That means the stripes probably won’t match around the body but it’s still a classic look. This one does have ribbing at the neckline, where the original sweater I owned and my re-creation had rolled hems throughout, but you can do it either way depending on your preference.

Do any of these projects remind you of clothes you might have worn or knit in the past? I’d love to hear about it!
