victoriaj Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 For anyone who makes wax dipped bears: do you normally colour the wax to match the bear - thats what i normally do. I have got a bear that i would like to dip- for a birthday prescent for a friend. It is a 21st birthday bear, he is wearing a white jumper with 21st written on in blue. It is a very light coloured bear. If i dip it in a brown wax to match the colour of the bear- then wont the jumper look a horrible brown colour. Is it best to stick with white wax- but mightnt the numbers on the jumper be covered up? Or can the jumper be put on after the bear has been dipped- would this be hard to do seen as the bear would be infexible once dried and it is a snug fitting wool jumper. Also would this not cover up some of the fragrance? Any help would be much appreciated on this dilema. Thanks very much Quote
Paulette Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 When I have bear clothes I dip the bear and fluff then before it is set up I put the clothes on. Much easier. Clothes never bothered the scent much. I put just add alittle more scent. HTH Quote
countrysoaper Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 When i dip bears, I just dip in uncolored wax and if a bear is wearing clothes, you can either dip it with the clothes on or dip the bear, then put the undipped clothes on it, i think it is just a matter of preference. Quote
