I took the gingersnap challenge of wax quite literally this week. I remember I used to be fascinated when I was younger when restaurants had wine bottles with candles in and the wine bottles were covered in dripped wax. I know they are a bit tacky but I like them.
Candles don't drip like that nowadays, so to create this effect I had to drip the candle myself down the side of the bottle.
To add a little bling I embedded iridescent bubble beads from
penny wise arts into the wax (just heat gently with a heat gun and then push them into the wax)
Finally I heated the wax on the front and pushed the crown coin stamp from this
crafty individuals stamp plate into it. leaving the stamp unmounted makes this really easy to do.

I love the effect of the embedded beads!
ReplyDeleteI always loved those bottle candles in restaurants too.
I loved those bottles too - I remember some in a little restaurant in Bordeaux - so romantic
ReplyDeleteA wonderful bottle. An eye catcher in a shelve.
