blacktieaffair Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Here's a few things I threw together today while waiting on my soap to set up. Not my best but it kept me busy and boy does my house smell wonderful ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tam1116 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Very very nice and different!!!!! Do you just glue the deorations on after dipping, is that ribbon that you put around it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Yes, I put different ribbons around them, sometimes glue stuff on them, stick floral down in them , just whatever I can think of to make them different from everyone elses I like my "florals" the best. They range from pretty simple to pretty darn huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tam1116 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Do you think one done in baby powder for a baby shower would be too strong?? What wax do you use for these if you don't mind sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktieaffair Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 The best way to find out is to actually do one. I loath having to tell you that, but honestly, TPs hold on to the wax and scent a LOT differently than a bear does. These last long and throw harder if the FO is strong. I was IGI 4794 only. Nothing else , period. I use it for my melts, all my dipped items with the exception of the pinecones, depending on the type of pine tree it came from, I might add a lil dash of soy for better adhersion, but rarely do I do that.Im happy to answer any and all questions you have sweetie! I had ( and still have ) some great people who have helped me so much so of course I'll help someone else!I do need to say one thing about my tps. A lot of people, use the cheapest tp they can find, to keep costs down. I have tried a few, and they didnt fall apart but I wondered if they might not , or warp because the paper was wrapped loosely around the core.Me ? I ONLY use Scotts 1000. Doesn't have a print on it to speak of ( some like that, I dont ) , it's wrapped very tightly , and its a bigger roll ( mega size ). If you get your wax hot enough it soaks in fast, but you have to really really watch the temp or you will have serious splotches on it ( now, I do this on some, on purpose , for looks ) and if its too cold the least little bit, it wont soak in at all and leaves a bubbly glaze on it. I can only tell you how it reacts in my wax because I started with this wax and stuck with it, am tickled with it and had no reason to try a bunch of different things.

Sharon in KY Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 And I'm thinking what is TP? They look like pillar candles, the forever kind. Are the bows made with TP too, they match perfect that's why I ask. The animal pattern would match my daughters bed or bathroom perfect. They really are unique, not like any other I have seen. Very good work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps, when the tp is spotchy, to get it down to the tp where the wax looks better. Some times that works, sometimes its still spotchy and you just "go with it" and use it to your advantage.Here's a few more : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
