Cupcake candles

A long while ago, I made these cupcake candles. They are made entirely from candle scraps that my mom's been saving up (she burns a lot of candles). They are very easy to make, and very decorative!



This is how you do it!
Sort out your candles! You will want one color of candles for the topping and one color for the bottom. 
You should keep the colors of the candles that you mix for each part as similar as possible, or toss in some white if you don't have enough. 
Start by melting the candle for the bottom first. When melted, pour into silicon cupcake molds, place a candle thread in the middle of it. Hold it up using a wire or some other method of your preffering. Place in the fridge so it cools down quicker.

Melt the candle for the topping in a wather bath as well.
Use a handheld mixmaster to fluffen up the candlewax as it cools. This might take some time in the beginning, but when it starts to cool, it cools quickly.
Use a spoon or two to shape the fluffy wax around the thread. Place in the fridge until cooled, and then you can remove the silicone mold.

If you want it to smell nicely, you can add a few drops of candle



(There is something wrong with the text adjuster. I can't center the writing..)

Catching dreams

It's been a while since I've been updating. It's not for the lack of doing stuff.
Well, maybe a little.
Anyway, here's a few of my old work. I will add more after Christmas so I don't spoil any gifts!


For my nieces birthday in November, I made her a dreamcatcher.
I remember getting one when my mother had been to America on vacation, and it's been next to my bed ever since. I wanted to give her one too, because it feels nice to have a dreamcathser next to your bed, even if you don't believe the things about them catching dreams.
