Winter brings about the most delightful and creative ideas for decorations, especially for candle lovers. Michaels, the well-known arts and crafts retail chain, has come up with a unique and fun way to create a wintry candle cake. This project is perfect for those who are looking to add a touch of whimsy to their winter decor.

The idea behind this candle cake is to make a candle that looks like a delicious cake, complete with frosting, candy, and other edible-looking decorations. The result is a beautiful, decorative candle that is sure to impress your friends and family. This DIY project is easy to make and requires only a few supplies, including a candle, a jar, wax, and various decorations.

To create the candle cake, Michaels recommends using a mason jar and a pillar candle. First, you’ll need to melt the wax and pour it into the jar, creating a base for the “cake”. Next, you can add a layer of frosting, which can be made from melted wax mixed with various colors and scents. Finally, you can add your desired decorations, such as candy, sprinkles, and other wintry accents.

This candle cake project is perfect for adding a touch of fun and creativity to your winter decor. It’s also an excellent gift idea for friends and family members who love candles. Michaels provides a step-by-step tutorial on their website, making this project easy to follow and perfect for crafters of all levels.

Strawberry Cross Stitch Patterns

My favorite thing about mid to late spring is local strawberries. Strawberries are fun as a graphic element, too, because they’re an interesting shape and cheerful color. Let’s stitch some strawberry cross stitch patterns.

Craft Club Co AU has this cute kind of retro strawberry pattern with a pink checkerboard background. The pattern pages doesn’t give a lot of details but it looks like is uses at least 7 colors and it says it will fit in an 8 by 10 frame when stitched on 14 count fabric.

For a classic farmhouse look, check out the strawberry pattern from Largodargento Shop. This one reminds me of little wild strawberries, and it has a bit of a mandala design with other geometric shapes.

Speaking of classics, you can also stitch a strawberry alphabet sampler from Curious Carrie Designs. It is 54 stitches square, which comes out to 3.86 inches or 9.8 cm square. It calls for 8 colors and was stitched on 32-count linen. Keep it flat or turn it into a biscornu stitched with flowers and bees.

This strawberry pincushion from The SubRosa Design is super sweet and of course could be framed instead of using it as a pincushion if you’d rather. This one is 93 stitches square, or about 5.3 inches/13.5 cm square stitched on 36 count linen as shown.

This graphic, slightly abstract strawberry design from Box and Fox is so much fun and would be great to have on your kitchen wall or in your breakfast area. It measures 98 by 141 stitches, which comes out to 7 by 10 inches or 17.78 by 25.58 cm on 14 count fabric. The design uses 6 colors.

Don’t let the mice get your strawberries! This oddly cute design from Tourmaline Pattern measures 95 by 94 stitches and uses 16 colors. I love the look of it on black fabric, because it really makes the mice and the flowers pop. On 14 count fabric this comes out to 6.7 inches or about 17 cm square.
