Snowman Candle Holder Craft

by

Winter is a magical season that provides ample opportunities for creativity, especially when it comes to crafting with your children. If you’re looking for a cute and easy project to do with your kids, then consider making this snowman candle holder using a bubble bowl.

This craft involves painting the bubble bowl with a frosty white paint to create the body of the snowman. Once the paint has dried, you can add a polymer clay nose and paint a black face on the bowl to give it character. Then, top off your snowman candle holder with a wire mesh hat to complete the look.

This fun and simple winter craft is perfect for kids of all ages and can be a great way to spend quality time together while also encouraging creativity and imagination. The snowman candle holder can be used to decorate your home, adding a festive touch to any room during the winter season.

Crafts for All Seasons offers a detailed tutorial on how to create this snowman candle holder, complete with step-by-step instructions and helpful tips to make the project go smoothly. With just a few basic supplies and a little bit of time, you and your children can create a charming winter decoration that is sure to bring joy to your family and friends. So gather your materials, get the kids involved, and let the crafting begin!

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.” 

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them. 

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits. 

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves. 

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit. 

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
