St Patrick’s Day Candle Holder

February 27, 2019 by Shellie Wilson

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!

Mini Pumpkins and Jack o’Lanterns to Cross Stitch

I just can’t resist sharing a few more Halloween cross stitch patterns when they are as cute and quick to stitch as these!

This boo cross stitch from Luzatolye was the first little Halloween cross stitch pattern to catch my eye. I love the pumpkin Os! At just 23 by 8 stitches and using four colors, you can stitch it up in no time. On 14 count fabric it measures 1.6 by.5 inches, or about 4 by 1.27 cm. 

Another cutie from the same designer is this jack o’lantern with a witch hat. Another four-color project, this one is 14 by 18 stitches, which is an inch by just a little more than an inch, or around 3 cm square, worked on 14 count fabric. 

If you like your minis a little bit bigger, this jack o’lantern with leaves is from White Protea Art and measures 47 by 28 stitches. That comes out to 3.4 by 2 inches, or 8.5 by 5.1 cm, when stitches on 14 count fabric. It uses nine colors. 

Or there’s also this little cutie from that same designer. I love the little leaf on top of the pumpkin. At 33 by 36 stitches, it comes out to 2.4 by 2.6 inches, or 6 by 6.5 cm, when stitched on 14 count fabric. I think it uses around eight colors. 

Template Love Create also has two mini jack o’lantern cross stitch patterns that I like (I swear I didn’t plan to do two from each of the same designers, it’s just the whimsy of an Etsy search!). There’s one that is more round and one that’s oblong, which I like because it’s different from most of the pumpkin patterns you see. The pattern listings say both are six colors (though they look like four to me) and 28 by 28 stitches, but I don’t think that can be true. Either way they both fit in a 3 inch hoop and would be a super cute little addition to your Halloween decor.
