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.

Andes Candies treat match box

I made the boxes using the Cricut Tags bags Boxes and more cartridge, but I have also made the match boxes with my score board and scissors.
I used SU paper, bird die and Martha Stewart border punch.
They hold 6 Andes mints perfectly!!! see the video for more details!

Corded Beaded Bookmarks

Here are a grouping of bookmarks I made for my craft fair table on Sunday.

Here is a video for your viewing of the details and how to.

Wooden Spool Ornaments

I bought the Better Homes & Garden Craft magazine and these ornaments and how to make them were in there.
I couldn't wait to give it a try, all I needed to buy was the thick black wire and I made 14 of these for ornaments. The music on them are Christmas songs that I strategically cut and glued on.

Hope you give it a try! Please enjoy this short video.

How to make a cute bat out of circles

Hi All,
I found this last year and made some decorations and a card, this year I made a quickie card tonight and will show you have to make the bat you see in the card below.

You can do this with either a Coluzzle Circle cutting template - or with your Cricut in different circle sizes or with circle punches.

If you use the Coluzzle as I did, cut one of each of the 4 inner rings.

Cut the smallest circle (1inch) in half. This will be the ears.
The next circle (1 1/2 inch) is the head. Add googly eyes and a mouth with a white pen
The body is a 2" circle.
The wings is cut from the 4th (largest) circle (2 1/2 inch) cut in half and punch out scallops to look like wings.

1) adhere the ears to the head, then place eyes and mouth as you like. Put aside for a min.
2) adhere wings to the body, tilt them a little in either direction to give him personality.
3) pop dot the head by putting foam dots on the back, place onto the body, you can have him looking worried or confused by titling his head.

I have also done him upside down in a card I did last year.
Have fun - let me know if you make him.
