Donita Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I made a bunch of bookmarks to match candles. I think that it is a nice gift idea. I am going to put some flowers on soap to match....one of these days. I dipped the bookmarks in my over dip wax and they look good. The flowers are air tight now. Just another way to use wax and it only takes a few drops.....practically no expense here. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaritamama Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Gorgeous Donita, as usual. You always come up with the most beautiful things.....I just have one question. Would the wax on the bookmarks melt any, or ruin the pages of a book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Good point Margaritamama......It is 12:45 and my car is in the sun. I just put one in a book and I will see what happens. That would be pretty much the hottest place one would leave a book. Thanks for pointing that out!!!! Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Donita, I love the bookmarks. Loe how you have matched the bookmarks to an orb. Let us know how the car test turns out. I have some azalea blooms drying now. Can't wait until they are ready so I can try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybersix Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Amazing Donita!Have you find out if wax goes on pages? I'm curious, because I read a lot I can try to do some of those bookmarks for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 Thanks everyone.....and Top...it's about time you start reading books. Sabrina...the wax didn't melt onto the pages and the car was hot....I could laminate them, but I always have wax on and it doesn't cost anything to dip the bookmark. I have also done note cards that way. Just dip the front of the card 2/3 into wax to cover the flower. They make a nice combo with a candle....I am planning to do the soaps this week...Sharyl, the dark pink azaleas hold color for years, but the light ones don't....they are very transparent so I put a couple of them together. I pressed some hot pink ones that I will put on candles this week. The sooner I can get them under wax the better. I converted my food dehydrator into a flower drying unit and pressed the azaleas in 3 hours then let them sit overnight. I posted this slideshow on my flower boards yesterday. I tried azaleas in the microwave and air presses last year and they turned brown. The dehydrator is great for a lot of flowers. Here is the link to see it:http://tinyurl.com/nmj5d this is on pulbic so everyone can see it.....for awhile. Have a nice day. I am going outside to pick buttercups. The work very well on candles.
