Sand Cast Candles - how to make your own candle molds from sand.
truebluemeandyou: Really excellent detailed tutorial. I’ve used all sorts of things to make candles from milk cartons filled with ice cubes to sand. For sand casting with plaster of paris go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/post/23198124103/diy-sand-casting-tutorial-for-kids
DIY Wax Seal Tutorial from Honestly…WTF here. Posting because there are good links for seals and NEW TO ME glue gun sealing wax. Top Photo: Honestly…WTF. Bottom Photo: Collage by me. Sealing wax tutorials and inspiration here.
DIY Teacup Candle Tutorial from Cupcakes and Cashmere here. I like this post because it includes a link to a cheap $16.95 candle making kit, but you can do this with any candle wax, wicks and thrifted cups. *If you don’t want to buy a kit I posted a really wonderful tutorial from Hey Gorgeous using pretty pink wax here.
truebluemeandyou: Wax seals tutorial and jewelry to go a long with my ragehaus reblog of how to make a sealing wax stamp here. How much do I love wax seals? When I started this blog I posted this really really early on. If you know how to make polymer clay molds (here is a good tutorial by stone brash creative) you can easily do these jewelry pieces above. My polymer secret weapon (I use it for so many things) is wax (not the liquid) Rub ‘N Buff here (also at Michaels) - you rub it on with your fingers to highlight just what you want to.
If you follow me you may know I love wax seals. So when I saw these at Honestly…WTF I somehow felt vindicated. Top Left From Honestly…WTF here: Pyrrha Talismans are cast from authentic 19th century wax seals and each design has a symbolic meaning taken from family heraldry.

truebluemeandyou: Wooden Wax Seal. This has been posted and reposted on Pinterest from an Asian blog with NO instructions thousands of time (and now other blogs). Doesn’t everyone with a blog use google search image? Everyone is wondering where it is from! Pinterest folks who post my stuff incorrectly without the permalink - here you go. I posted this months ago and it’s a really good tutorial.
Wooden Wax Seal. Tutorial from Ragehaus (and their banner alone is worth looking at). I strangely enough had sealing wax and letter seals growing up, so this would appeal to me. *Edit: new tutorial they did for Design Sponge on Flickr here.
