pdevine Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Can anyone tell me how in the world you make the "Realistic" looking crumbles? I have been using a grater for the shred look, but can't for the life of me figure out how the crumble is made. TIA Portia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsvlbrat Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I would think you could whip the cool wax until it crumbles..... just continue stirring or whipping....it should seperate and make crumbles....hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I just take an old fork and drag the tips of the tines in wax that I've scented, colored, and poured onto an old jelly roll pan. Makes small, fine shreds that you can crumble up. I use it to top bakery candles in 4 oz. tins, for example. I'll see if I can find a pic.

OFCILynn Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Lady, PDevine and anyone else.........LOL When I make MY crumble I take a stainless steel bowl, that I sit in a larger bowl of ice cubes! I then pour my wax little by little into the SS bowl. When I see that it is starting to set up along the sides of the bowl, I just run my spoon around it and scrape all the areas that have started to set up! I don't have to touch anything and it goes rather quickly for me! I then put those "crumbs" into another bowl so they can start setting up more and harden all the way. If the chunks are too large, I break them up with my spoon gently while they are still slightly warm! I just keep doing this till I get all that I need! I am able to melt the wax only pour what I need into a glass measuring cup, scent and color and only have to do little bits at a time without wasting! It works like a charm every time for me!HTH!!God Bless,LynnEdited because I dont know how to spell! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
