Seaglass Candle Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I finally broke down and did it- I dipped a pack of Toilet Paper and it was SO much fun! My Mom & Dad are renovating their bathroom, so I created the first one for them. I used up some leftover soy and hurricane waxes. I added some color and scented it w/ a combo of Baby Powder & Victorian Rose that I like to call "Powder Room". The bathroom colors are burgundy & cream w/ nickel hardware, so I used ribbon and florals accordingly. I attached everything w/ straight pins.The truest colors are in the last pic all packaged up.Can't wait to do more tomorrow!

wickerbeal Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 that is really pretty, I can't believe how much the detail on the tp stands out. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 That's actually really cute. What kind of TP did you buy? How much wax does it soak up and how do you get it to keep it's shape? Very novelty, I love it, I could see that in my MIL's bathroom.Great Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 This is something I have never even seen before. What a neat idea.We all want details! lolIt's just beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaglass Candle Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Thank you! I used a 4 pack of Angel Soft (really cheap TP, but w/ a pretty pattern). I had maybe 2 pounds of wax in my Presto pot to start. I dipped 4 rolls and still have about an inch left in the bottom of the pot. I just stuck a roll in, then put metal tongs in the hole and flipped it over. I rolled it back and forth, put the tongs back in the hole, pulled the TP up and let it drip a second, then set it on heavy duty aluminum foil on the counter. Because this won't be burned, I went heavier on the scent than I would have for a real candle. They are very potent- I had to bag the others for the night!

Ring of Fire Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 We obviously all have different tastes. I just don't like the idea or tackiness of it. Don't go ballistic, I am sure many others feels the exact same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlena Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I've seen others but yours is BEAUTIFUL!! I've also seen paper towels done!So, I am assuming you dont squeeze the wax out; is that correct?Good Job! I havent had the 'courage' to do these either but maybe.......~Carlena~www.carlenascreations.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheebeans Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried to use one......you know, for it's intended purpose? Look how many crazy warning labels we have to put on different products! For those of you who sell it, do you have to put a warning label on your wax-dipped, scented arsewipe? :whistle: I would be so afraid someone would try using it, that I would have to!! :embarasseEdited to add: That is the prettiest TP I have ever seen!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 This week I'm going to try dipping an assortment of feminine hygiene products to see what kind works best. Judging by the commercials, they should hold loads of fragrance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
