Workin' with wax....pumpkins and santas!

I am working on some goodies for the Hegins craft fair that Bob and I are heading to on Saturday. He has been crazy busy, going on very little sleep, trying to get pottery made and I have been working on some primitive bowl fillers of wax pumpkins and santas for the show as well. These are so great and easy to make....very simple with great results! All you need is some wax, I prefer beeswax, and a mold to pour the melted wax into. I use the dark beeswax and then I add scented oil to the wax once it is melted to make it smell yummy, pour it into the mold and then wait for it to dry. Once it is dry,pop it out of the mold, and I rub cinnamon on them to make them look more primitive and old. Adds a great homey scent to the already scented piece as well.


I hope it is a nice day for the show, and I sure hope sales are great too! :) I will post pictures of the pottery...when we have a lot done and ready!
