Tutorials on soapmaking, bath fizzies, lotions and more
Crafters often plan projects months ahead of time. This week was all about getting ready for fall. The blog featured several fall projects, including the Pumpkin Spice Swirl Cold Process Soap. The recipe is made with real pumpkin puree and pumpkin seed oil. An orange and brown color palette and Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Oil make the soap feel and smell like a crisp autumn day.
With so many fragrances available to scent candles with, it’s hard to choose just one. Rather than agonizing over the perfect scent, I decided to use two! As this Lavender Vanilla Geometric Candle melts, the Vanilla Bean Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil and Lavender Candle and Soap Fragrance Oil will mix together and fill your home with a sweet and earthy scent.
In addition to two fragrances, the candle also has a fun geometric design. The layers are made by pouring EcoSoya Advanced Soy Wax into Tapered Neck Candle Jars that are angled on a stable surface. The purple, white and orange layers go perfectly with the lavender vanilla scent. The design does take a bit of time to achieve, but we think the unique look is totally worth it. This technique is a great way to shake up your normal candle routine.
