Candles are a great way to create a warm and cozy atmosphere in your home, and making your own candles can be a fun and rewarding DIY project. This tutorial showcases a unique combination of two popular ingredients used in candle making – beeswax and coconut oil. Beeswax is known for its natural honey scent and the warm glow it produces, while coconut oil is prized for its moisturizing and skin-nourishing properties.

Using these two ingredients, you can create a beautifully scented and long-lasting candle that is also good for your skin. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide with detailed photos to help even those new to candle making create a stunning finished product. The tutorial includes information on how to choose the right wicks and containers for your candle, as well as tips on how to pour and cool the wax and oil mixture.

In addition to the natural benefits of the ingredients used, making your own candles allows you to customize the scent and look of your candle to suit your personal preferences. You can experiment with different essential oils or fragrances to create a scent that is uniquely your own. The tutorial also provides tips on how to add decorative touches to your candle, such as dried flowers or herbs, to make it even more personalized.

Non Stop Stitch is an Etsy shop based in Ukraine with a dizzying quantity and variety of cross stitch patterns. 

They tend to the cute/whimsical and colorful, with lots of flowers, animals, fantasy designs and some classic Ukraine inspired motifs. 

How about this super sweet Ukrainian boy and girl design? With folk inspired clothing and adorable animals, these characters can be stitched together on one piece or separately. The images were designed by Nadiia Nagorna. The boy measures 50 by 96 and uses 22 colors and blends, while the girl is 62 by 94 stitches and uses 27 colors and blends. 

Both projects involve full and half cross stitches, as well as backstitch and French knots. They are classified as intermediate patterns. 

The largest category on the site is Christmas patterns, with more than 200 options, ranging from cute animals to ornaments, Santas, snowmen and more. There are also plenty of patterns for both Easter and Halloween if you like seasonal stitches. 

In addition you’ll find lots of animal designs, from bears and foxes to cats and dogs, mice and elephants, birds, bunnies and bugs. And extensive flowers and plants section includes pretty bouquet cross stitch patterns, stitched wreaths and seasonal scenes, as well as food cross stitch patterns, like a swag of chili peppers, mushrooms on a postage stamp, persimmons and cherries. 

The fantasy and magic category leans heavy on whimsy with cute dragons, a one-eyed monster with dragonfly wings, a mermaid listening to music, and a green bearded river spirit covered in lily pads. 

And that’s not even to mention other sections like food and drinks, houses and landscapes, lighthouses, people/babies/dolls and more. There’s so much to choose from there’s no way to really categorize it all, so why don’t you head over to Non Stop Stitch and do some scrolling. I’d love to hear if you make one of their patterns!
