Donita Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I have my camera in the studio today, along with MY NEW COMPUTER.....(it was a surprise).....so I am going to be boring you all with pictures of my work place. Here is one way I keep a little bit of wax for re-fills. I bought a bunch of little pitchers from WalMart and put them in the electric frying pan with water. I use a paper towel for a little pot holder when I am ready to use them. I also melt dye chips in them and color crayons to make molded shape crayons.

sharyl55 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Great idea. Don't remember seeing little creamers like that at my Wally World. So what kind of computer did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 It's a Dell....one of those ads on TV...My DH saw it and ordered it for me. It is the E510.....led screen....I had an old old old one over here for years....the good one is in the house.....now I have a faster one because I haven't junked it up yet.

SatinDucky Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Those little pitchers are a great idea. I just use tuna cans with a spout crimped in them...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlascandles Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I use those little pitchers as pouring pots for those tiny hard to pour molds...raisins, etc........works GREAT! I THINK they are called stainless creamers and are sold in the housewares "gadget" aisle for about $1.76 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekrunner Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I have a skillet too, but I have it underneath onr of my Presto Pot spigots to catch any drips after "decanting" wax to my pour pot. Then if I have any scraps or leftovers from test candles, I dump 'em in there, heat it up, and it solidifies into a nice block I can save for making firestarters.Donita always has great ideas! I'll have to find some of those little creamers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 I also use the frying pan to level the tops of my canes....then I can save that was and us it to refill the cane if it has a little dip in the bottom. I also put my leveler in the pan and it catches the drips....when they build up I just melt them out and pour it out. I love electric frying pans for candlemaking....I never use them for cooking food....(smile)....Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
