Candle making can seem like a daunting task, especially if you’re new to it. However, with the right resources and guidance, anyone can create beautiful and fragrant candles. Hey Wanderer has shared an incredible tutorial on how to use Scentsy to make candles that are not only easy but also affordable. This method is perfect for beginners as it simplifies the process and uses materials that are readily available.

The tutorial includes an easy-to-follow infographic that breaks down the candle-making process into simple steps. This step-by-step guide makes it easy to create your own custom candles in no time. Whether you want to make candles for yourself or as a gift, this tutorial has got you covered.

One of the best things about using Scentsy for candle making is that you can choose from a wide variety of scents. From fruity scents like strawberry and peach to cozy and comforting scents like vanilla and cinnamon, the possibilities are endless. Additionally, Scentsy wax is already scented, which makes the process even simpler as you don’t have to worry about adding any extra fragrance oils.

Knit a Blanket with the Texture of a Ceiling

Knitwear designers can get inspiration from almost anything when it comes to re-creating a color scheme, an image or a texture in stitches. Sometimes the inspiration isn’t always obvious in the finished project, but sometimes it’s more literal. 

That’s the way it is with the Tin Ceiling Blanket from Purl Soho. Not just because the inspiration is in the name, but if you’ve ever seen one of these old ceilings you can see that the design of the blanket is quite similar to the pattern of the tin tiles. 

This is also a good example of the idea that you don’t have to use fancy stitch patterns or lots of color to make a big impact with your knits. This single-color blanket (designed by Gianna Mueller and inspired by a washcloth and towel set designed by Sandi Rosner) is made completely with knits and purls, other than slipped stitches at the beginning of rows to make neater edges. 

The pattern is written out row by row, but there’s also a chart, which means this project is a great opportunity to practice reading a chart where you can check your work against the written pattern if you need to. 

It comes in two sizes, a crib blanket and a throw. The yarn used in the sample is an organic cotton sold by the cone, which is a great way to get a large quantity of yarn and have fewer ends to weave in. In fact, you can knit either size of the blanket with just one cone of yarn, which isn’t inexpensive but makes you a great, sturdy, heirloom quality but still washable blanket you’ll use for years to come. (Of course you can use any sport weight yarn you like to make this blanket.)
