berrycreekcandles Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Do you take the carboard out before dipping or does it not get soggy like when it gets wet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazerina Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I've made two of those so far and just used my scraps of litterally 'whatever'. Lol. Mostly 6006, which yes, is a bit soft. So I made sure to add some of my old parafin tarts from when I first started making them... the ones that broke, lol. There was one or two used up straight soy jumbo tarts that I added as well. Then I topped all that off with about a 1/4 cup or less of Steric. The texture came out fine, not too soft. Yes, the cardboard soaks up a lot of wax.. but all the more scenting it can do then. It does not get 'soggy'. My rolls were from an el cheapo Walmart 6 pack. They are about half the size of a regular roll but I thought they would be best to experiment with. The hardest part was altering the color to something pretty (since most of the used up tarts were a strong color already) So I did end up having to add 3 color chips in the end. One I did kind of tye die by being in too much of a hurry and not thinking about changing the color to something better BEFORE I dipped it in. Up close, it's ugly. But on the shelf it actually looks pretty kewl, lol. I was going to fancy them up with silk flowers, ribbons etc.. but these were just testers- what's the point, lol. They really do work when the door has been closed and it's your first time in the Bath room for a while. But I have a small bath room and the one that sat in my kitchen for a few days never did make it's self known. I think if I put it in a window on a candle plate it would work even better in the Bathroom. Here is a quick pic.... I'm only disappointed in the inconsistency of the surface coloring. But my theory is that it is only because of the loosely wrapped cheap toilet paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
