I convey a tradition of making Winter Solstice ornaments for our tree together with for gifting, because they are difficult to abide by inwards gift shops or online. In years past, I convey made clay, quilted, embroidered together with felted wool ornaments. I am making solar ornaments amongst Bee’s wax this year.
Do you lot convey Brown Bag clay cookie molds inwards the dorsum of a drawer somewhere?
You know, the ones you lot saved for making that cool homemade paper-craft projection you lot convey e'er meant to try? I did! Wax ornaments are my favorite agency to purpose them now. Some of the molds are likewise large for ornaments, but others are only perfect. If you lot don’t convey any, you lot tin sometimes abide by them on the inexpensive at Antique stores.

I desire to brand a security mold of our Sol doorbell because it is the perfect size for a tree ornament.
I could non locate whatsoever security mold making kits inwards our town, exclusively acrylic clay mold material. It didn’t concord the pressed ikon well, or, I didn’t exercise it correctly.

The metallic container volition permit the wax to remain fluid long plenty to pour it into a few molds. Using a ladle volition non operate well. The edges cool then apace that whatsoever pouring irregularities volition move highly visible.
Add i one-half teaspoon of Cassia essential oil to melted wax later it has cooled to l degrees. Pour into cavities immediately, slightly under-filling each mold. Tap the border of the mold on the counter together with unloosen over a soft towel later they convey cooled an hr or two. Most volition popular out of the cookie molds really easily. If they don’t, refrigerate them for nearly twenty minutes together with elbow grease again.
To exercise a shine hole for ribbon or string, oestrus the cease of an H2O ice option or narrow paring knife over a stove burner or candle. Press lightly, together with the hot metallic volition easily pierce through the wax to exercise a shine hole inwards the ornament. If the edges are stone oil or irregular, oestrus the apartment side of a butter knife together with apace shine it over those areas of the ornament.
