Winter Candle Cake

December 30, 2012 by Heidi Gustad

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. So, head to your local craft store and get your supplies to create your own wintry candle cake.

The Hourglass Beanie – Free Crochet Pattern

Looking for a fresh burst of creativity to start the new year? Look no further than the Hourglass Hat pattern, paired with the stunning TGWTH hand-dyed yarns! As a crafter always on the lookout for new projects, I couldn’t wait to dive into this knitting pattern and explore the vibrant world of hand-dyed yarns.

First off, let me tell you about the pattern itself. The Hourglass Hat pattern is a true gem, offering a delightful blend of style and simplicity. As someone who’s more accustomed to crochet, I found the instructions easy to follow, and the end result was nothing short of fabulous. The finished hat has a classic yet contemporary feel, making it the perfect accessory for chilly winter days or breezy spring afternoons.

Now, let’s talk about the yarn. Oh, where do I even begin? The TGWTH hand-dyed yarns are an absolute dream to work with. Each skein is a work of art in itself, bursting with vibrant colors and subtle nuances that add depth and character to any project. I opted for the sock yarn base, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The merino wool and nylon blend is soft, yet sturdy, ensuring that my hat will not only look great but also stand the test of time.
