kfintoni Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hello everyone, I have been seeing some beautiful wax flowers online recently, they seem to be big overseas. I have searched online for some tutorials on these and have found a few but none in English. I am curious if anyone has done anything like this and if so my big question is what is the best wax to use? I am talking hand forming them not using a mold. Thanks, Karen in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyBee Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I found some with English subtitles. It looks like it's soft paraffin that they are using. It looks like key is to keep it warm while working with the wax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhRSHLTgtWA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLg8axBFFaw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azY3prJGBIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NxOcPl0-XE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FevT7pAIM4 This one she mixed paraffin with gel wax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8bXgoIJZNw This one is called wax tablet made with soy wax & dried flowers. Lots of pictures so easy to understand. http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=crazykooya&logNo=220707144112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfintoni Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 @BusyBee Thank you for the links. In regards to the wax tablet one you posted has anyone made these? I do not get the point of them as from what I have seen they are not made for melters but more like a sachet. I would be very worried about them melting and making a huge mess.

BusyBee Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Wax tablet are function mostly as sachet in Asian countries like Korea, Japan, Thailand, etc. I haven't got to do any wax tablets yet(maybe never will), but instead I make fragrant clay figurines. It can be used in cars or homes. I thought these were better & easier to make. I bought molds from Korea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
