St Patrick’s Day Candle Holder

St. Patrick’s Day is a beloved holiday celebrated around the world. Whether you’re Irish or not, there’s something special about dressing up in green and enjoying a festive atmosphere. If you’re looking for a way to add some St. Patty’s Day spirit to your home decor or party, making your own candles is a perfect option. Not only can you customize the color and scent to fit the theme, but it’s also a fun and easy DIY project.

To start, you’ll need candle-making supplies like wax, wicks, and fragrance oils. For St. Patrick’s Day, some popular scents include fresh clover, peppermint, and lemongrass. You can also create your own blends for a unique fragrance. Here are five St. Patrick’s Day scent blends to try:

Irish Meadow – A blend of fresh clover, sweet grass, and wildflowers.

Leprechaun’s Brew – A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.

Pot of Gold – A blend of bergamot, lemongrass, and patchouli.

Lucky Charm – A blend of peppermint, vanilla, and cream.

Emerald Isle – A blend of green tea, bergamot, and jasmine.

Once you have your fragrance blend ready, you can start pouring the wax into your candle holders. For St. Patrick’s Day, using green or gold candle dye can help create a festive atmosphere. You can also add in some glitter or small shamrock-shaped confetti to the wax before it sets.

To make your St. Patrick’s Day candles even more special, you can add some decorative touches like ribbon or a label with a St. Patty’s Day message. These candles make great party favors or gifts for friends and family.

Overall, making your own St. Patrick’s Day candles is a fun and easy way to add some festive spirit to your home or party. Whether you’re using a tutorial like the St. Patty’s Day candle holder or creating your own unique designs, the possibilities are endless. So get creative and enjoy the luck of the Irish this St. Patrick’s Day!

As the year comes to a close, you might be thinking about things you want to do, or do differently, in your life in the next year, and your crafting life should definitely be part of whatever resolutions or goals you set.

I feel like one of the most common goals for crafters of all varieties, not just cross stitchers, is to be more organized. Earlier this year I shared a post about organizing cross stitch supplies, and in the vault you’ll find ideas for storing embroidery floss in particular, as well as this post about how one cross stitcher uses a Caboodles box to keep her projects contained.

You might also want to finish projects that you’ve started but abandoned in the past, or to let go of some things that you know you’ll never finish (if you need help decluttering your craft supplies, I’ve got an ebook to help!).

Making more time for your crafts is another good goal, and may be especially important if you’re trying to avoid the news or social media. Start small, with scheduling in an extra 10 or 15 minutes a day, or declare that after supper is craft time, or whatever you need to do to hold that time for yourself. Doing something like a 100 day project is an easy way to commit to working on a craft regularly.

Another resolution you might consider is learning new skills or trying more difficult projects. I’m guilty of staying in the beginner zone when it comes to cross stitch for a really long time, but writing about it here has inspired me to try bigger, more colorful and more difficult projects, which is the challenging kind of fun. If there’s a project you’ve always wanted to do but were afraid to try, make this coming year the time you do it.

And if you are still learning the basics of cross stitch, check out my learn to cross stitch guide over at Our Daily Craft.

Do you have a cross stitch related resolution or something you want to learn this year? I’d love to hear about it!
