holiday!
Supplies Needed:
- Stuffed Bear (or other animal)
- 1lb IGI 1343 (or other Pillar wax)
- 1 - 1.5 oz. Fragrance Oil per pound of wax
- Presto Pot
- Thick Rubber Gloves w/ Lining
- Drying Rack
- Large Tooth Comb (or Fork)
- Small Doll Stand
- Tongs
Directions:
- Melt wax in the Presto Pot to about 175 - 185 degrees. With white or light colored bears no dye is required, but on darker colored bears you may want to add dye to match the color. This will cut down on the white wax "dandruff" later.
- Add your fragrance, and stir.
- Next, dip the bear (use tongs to dip and roll him in the wax), pull him out and squeeze out a bit of the excess wax. You'll want to wear thick, lined rubber gloves to protect your hands when you do this, as the wax is very hot!
- Now it's time to comb and fluff! Some people prefer to lay a rack across the top of the pot to set the bear on, letting excess wax drip into the pot.
- Then put the teddy on a doll stand (small sized) with the clamp of the stand around the neck. This helps keep the bear from falling over while you're posing him, and allows you to position him just the way you want him to look (head tilted, etc).
