For our 14th day of this amazing Yule countdown we are going to be making acorn candle holders. Candles have a long been a light in the darkness so it only makes sense that for Yule light the way on the longest night of the year. Starting the day after the winter solstice the day overshadows the night and stays longer. To make the candle holders we actually use recycled soda cans just make you rinse them out so you don't have any sticky candles. You then you cut the top off depending on how big you would like a candle holder and is depending on where you should cut. I used scissors to cut it be BECAREFUL BECAUSE THE EDGE OF THE SODA WILL BE VERY SHARP SO I ADVICE AN ADULT CUT IT. I then use some of my cinnamon dough mixture to created a little border on top of the soda can so that the edge is no longer sharp and also when the candle is burning it will heat the cinnamon which will smell amazing. I then bake it for 45 mins to an hour till it is hard at 300 degrees. As a place at on the border I say. May abundance flow through our home just as this scent flows through our home. We can use a nail to poke holes strategically into the can so that when the candles lit it will illuminate out. As I poke the holes into the can I say. May love and light flow not just threw our home but through our lives. Its now time to put acorns on we do this by gluing them to the can. A hot glue gun would be great for this but since I didn't have one we used regular glue. Acorns are a symbol strength as which is why before we glue them I say a blessing over them. May our family stay strong and united. This craft take a little long because you need to hold the acorns in place.

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
