MissMary Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 No advice on the bears, but you could try selling ornies and aroma bead bags, cardboard air fresheners (the ones where you "paint" the FO on), maybe some tarts or clamshells with electric warmers.

blazerina Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I recently dipped my first critters- one of them being a penguin from the $store. It worked fine since it was 'shaggy' like. There was a bit of dye bleed from either his red ear muffs or orange feet, not sure. But minimal and I might have been able to prevent it by having my wax cooler, but being the first time I did it, I wanted all the time I could get to work with it. The other was a small jointed bear from Micheals that was about $1.50 or so. Worked wonderful. I'm feeling very lazy right now so I have not yet posted a pic... it doesn't help that my 'digital cam' (when hubby isn't home) is actually a big ol camcorder that takes a few digital pics. So it's a PIA to hook up and deal with... but I will soon post. Just not today probably, lol. Sachet bags with kitty litty and fo, or the beads, etc are great and soooooo stinking easy to make. I like to do mine up extra nice though and add a rosette and ribbons to the tie. You can make them quite festive with a bit of sparkly ribbon. She could even use 3D glitter glue to decorate them. And then there are the fire starters made with potpourri or wood shavings and wax in a muffin paper or paper cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
