pixie Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 So I am wanting to try my hand at making some grubby candles and tarts but Im not sure how to do that exactly. I am trying tarts first and have a grubby tart mold ordered but my wax is so smooth and shiny. How do I take the shine off to make it look grubby? The mold is kinda bumpy but I dont think that will help with the shine. The grubby candles and melts that I have seen almost seem to have a light dusting of powder on them.

sporadic Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 To make a grubby candle, you simply whip the wax and apply it to the candle or tart before it solidifies. When the silicone mold craze hit, folks made a mold for the hand grubby candle. Usually you can make a much prettier candle by doing the grubby by hand rather than using a mold.

Candybee Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You can dust the tart with cinnamon powder to get that grubbified primitive country look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
