Valentine Candle Centerpiece Project

January 20, 2012 by SandraW

Valentine’s Day is a time for love and celebration, and what better way to set the mood than with a beautiful DIY candle centerpiece? This project is not only simple to make, but it also incorporates upcycling, making it an eco-friendly choice. To get started, you’ll need an old CD, ribbon, stickers, glue, and a vase. These materials can easily be found at your local craft store or repurposed from items you may have around the house.

The first step is to create the candle base using the old CD. You can use any type of CD you have, but a plain silver or white one works best. Simply glue the candle to the center of the CD, and then decorate the edges of the CD with ribbon or stickers to create a festive look.

Once your candle base is complete, it’s time to move on to the garland. The garland is what really makes this centerpiece shine, and you can customize it to suit your personal style. Using different colors and textures of ribbon or paper, cut them into small pieces and tie them onto a piece of string or twine. You can also add stickers or other embellishments to make it more festive.

Once your garland is complete, you can wrap it around the vase and secure it with glue or tape. Then, simply place the candle base in the vase, and you’re done! This centerpiece is not only beautiful, but it also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for your Valentine’s Day celebration.

If you’re looking for a more detailed tutorial, visit Spiral Candle Centerpiece at Elder One Stop for step-by-step instructions. With a little creativity and effort, you can create a stunning candle centerpiece that will impress your loved ones and add a touch of romance to your home. So why not give this DIY project a try and make this Valentine’s Day one to remember?

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
