They came out cute! I'll be mainling the set to my daughter and her friends in college. I won't bore you with all 6 but here is one of them!

How to use Beeswax with crafting

I was asked to make a video on how I created and covered my box as seen in this post.

All the supplies I used was purchased at Michaels except for the craft iron, that was purchased on line by my friend.

Here is my finished product I showed in the video.

If you have any questions please leave a comment.

Paper Mache Box - tissue paper and beeswax

Ooohhh I love how this box came out. Using Beeswax and Tissue paper from Michael's I attached strips and ovals of the tissue paper to the box. Made a rossette and hot glued it to the top of the box.

Added flat back pearls to the key and the box cover lip.

All items I bought from Michael's craft store.

Please enjoy this video!

Favorite Wax napkin card

Hi all, as mentioned yesterday I had created three cards earlier and this one is my favorite. I sent this to my daughter for her weekly (almost) card that I send to her.

 These beautiful images are from a napkin which I waxed to the card front layer. Added more dimension with the butterfly and rhinestones and glitter glue.
The border punch is from Martha Stewart. I learned this wax napkin technique from my friend Sue, please visit her on her new blog!

Napkin Butterfly Beeswax card

As mentioned in my last post, my friend Sue taught me how to use beeswax and napkins to create stunning cards.
Here is my second one where I cut a larger panel from a 3-ply napkin (you only use the top layer) and using beeswax and a hot iron you attach the napkin to the card card.

Stunning different effect, cutting additional butterfly for another layer you can make them pop off the card, rhinestones added as well.

if you click on the picture you can see that the middle butterfly and it's layer. Visit Sue's blog for the directions!
