Trappeur Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thought I would share some pictures of my soy melt/tarts I make.These are soy melts that I did in vanilla balsam fir. I have since cut my cinnamon stick much shorter as it took over the jar being a litle too big. And my label is not on it yet.I dust them with mica.I absolutely love this pumpkin cheesecake scent from Bittercreek...Its an awesome seller this scent. I dyed them and did some in natural.These were fun to do but very time consuming...they are in vanilla balsam fir.I painted the trees with little drops of dyed wax and dusted the tops with mica.These tarts I did in different styles of acorns, trees, leaves, and pine cones.Thanks for taking the time to look.Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciS Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 WOW! Beautiful pictures of beautiful products. How in the world do you get such nice colors with no frost out of your soy wax? Your layers are just great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trappeur Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 You know Traci, I guess I'm just lucky so far, knock on wood....I switched about 6 months ago with my dyed candles to no dye because I was so frustrated with the frosting.....but that was in the candles....These little tarts, hmmm I just don't know....lol...and I zap them in the freezer too when I'm on a roll with these things..I use c-3 too....but most of these are the p-1 cargill....I spoon each tart into the jar carefully so the right sides of the tart is up and fill in all the little crevices with smaller designs like the little pinecones. Would you believe in this little 8oz mason jar there is 40 to 55 tarts? lolTrappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacien Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Those are awesome. They really give you a x-mas spirit. I love how you added the glitter to them too. I guess that makes sense since there will be no wick to worry about clogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
