larrycat Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I went to the Dollar Store Saturday and saw these leaf candles. I thought they might make great melts, so I figured I'd give it a try and make a quick silicone mold. Thinking of Fall, I colored the wax orange and used Apple Spice FO; do they smell awesome!Also, I attached pics of a teddy bear mold I made last week. It's a denim bear so I used blue as the color and painted his mouth and feet brown, as on the original. The basket I previously posted has since been poured and painted. What do you think? I'm not that great at painting, though! I enjoy making molds that will produce more unique candles. Thanks for LQQKING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Woman Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Are the leaves just orange? In the picture they look like they have different colors in them! They are awesome. If they do have different colors would you mind sharing how you do that? I have a leaf mold and for the life of me can not get them to look like a fall leaf. I have tried all different ways and nothing has come out right yet.Thanks,Devil Woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I kept looking at the "bear" but all I was seeing was a duck. I'm glad you cleared that up cause I wasn't seeing a bear anywhere. Those are very cute. Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, all I did was mix colors to achieve the orange that I wanted. The wax seems to be darker in the veins of the leaves, and I really don't know why. It does give them a much better look though, and I was pleasantly surprised.Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharyl55 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think you are fast becoming a mold master. Great job on all of them. Love the veins in the leaves, paint job on the basket, and very relieved to know it really is a very cute duck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
