jdscreations Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Okay so I did it. I asked a couple of days ago about these and let me tell you it was a pain, but thanks to candleman I did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdscreations Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Nice! So how'd you do it?Thanks everyone, the hardest part of getting them out of the cookie cutters, but I placed the cutters onto a round cookie sheet that I had (I was able to fit 4 of them on there) then I just poured the wax into the cutters (there was a little bit of leakage, but once it cooled alittle it was fine), then I just filled the cookie cutters up, waited for it to cool a little and placed the wick in them. Once they were completely cooled (which is really important, especially with the butterfly, because it will break apart) I lifted them out and pulled them out of the cutters. basically punched a whole the rest of the way through, but a wick with the tab in it and ta-da!!!!

lindsaycb Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Very nice! I was thinking they'd still be in the cookie cutter.Do they float too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Those are cute! I'm wondering too - do they float? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 those are really cute. If you put some plumbers putty around the cookie cuter I bet you won't have any leakage. haven't tried it but bet it would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Wow! I have the butterfly, but only one. Thanks for letting us in on the "secret". did you make them as floaters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdscreations Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Thanks Paulette, I'll have to try that. I was trying to figure away around that. I haven't checked to see if they float. I'll have to do that when I get home. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzie Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Here's a thought. Has anyone tried dotting wick pins around a largish tray then filling the tray with wax then using the cookie cutters to cut out shapes using the wick pins as the centre of each shape? Haven't tried it myself but it's interesting how hearing about one process sets the old creative juices going. If anyone has done anything similar and it was a total disaster will you please also let me know. Thanks, MaureenPS. Love the candles (obviously, or it wouldn't have got me raving on in this fashion. LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I also do large butterflies, Christmas Trees, tulips that way but only fill them up half way....then turn them into chunkies. Pour over some more wax and then I add a little butterfly, or tree or flower to the top. Then after removing them from the cutters, I hit them with a heat gun to smooth them out and sprinkle a little micro glitter on top....hmmmmm haven't done those for awhile...just reminded me to make some more. Yours came out very well. I love the simplicity. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdscreations Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Thanks again everyone. I did see if they float, they do, but just barely (they are a little too heavy I think. Maybe making them a little thinner like Donita they would be fine as floaters. And I love the simplicity and easiness of them. Donita I did think about trying different shapes, like Christmas trees and maybe some pumpkins. Do you think that the plastic cookie cutters would hold up against the heat of the wax? They are so much cheaper. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 You won't know until you try. I see no problem with using the plastic cutters. I use mine for other things, but have never ruined one....and trust me, I have about 1,000 cutters. LOL Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaD Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Very nice!! Did you try just pouring the wax flat on a cookie sheet and then cutting the wax with the cutter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdscreations Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 I have tried it both ways with pouring first and then placing the cutter into the wax and just pouring the wax into the cutters. They both worked, neither was easier then the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Did you try waiting till you wax in the cookie sheet was just warm then use your cookie cutter? I tried to make rolled cinnamon rolls by pouring the wax and when it was still warm cut the wax and it was easy to work with at first but I had the wrong wax so it was a flop. LOL The wax I used cooled to fast. I got about 2 cinnamon rollsI read somewhere about using the putty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
