Tarts...

2010-08-28T11:00:00.000-07:00

More tarts are coming for the Fall and Holiday season along with jars candles too.
If you never have used a tart before, here's a little info about them.

Tart melts are perfect for those who do not wish to burn candles at home, school, or work.

Just place your tart in your favorite tart warmer and enjoy a scent that lasts for days!

Info about my tarts that I make:
All of my tarts are highly scented and made with the maximum amount of
un-cut fragrance oils, and made to last several days. The scent will be very
strong at first and gradually diminish over time. Once the scent is completely gone,
discard old wax and place in a fresh tart. Wax will not be used up. Do not pour
hot wax down the drain, it will harden and cause a blockage in the drain pipe.
All tarts are freshly made to order and are highly scented and made with the
maximum amount of un-cut fragrance oils, they are made to last several days.

Whats a tart warmer you might ask?? Well...
An electric tart warmer works by heating the tart or oil with a small
electric bulb. As the wax melts or the oil warms the scent permeates the room.
A non electric tart warmer has a compartment that holds a tea light which is
below a dish that holds the wax or oil. When the candle is lit it melts the wax
or warms the oil just as the electric tart warmer does.

Recycled-Sweater Crafts...

2010-06-01T09:31:00.000-07:00

Fabulous sweater crafts... I love crafts where you can

recycle and use something and give it a whole

new life...I'm gonna have to hit the thrift stores and find

some sweaters, I would love to make these!

Ideas and pics are courtesy of Country Living.

Vases

Create a hothouse for any blossom: Slip a sweater sleeve over a jar or bottle, lining up the cuff with either the top or bottom edge, and hot-glue in place. Cut the wool long enough to cover the entire vessel, then secure with more glue.

Pillow

To make this sham, you'll need an 18-inch square pillow insert and a large sweater, cut into two 19-inch squares. Sew the right sides of the wool together along the edges, leaving the bottom open. Turn right side out and insert the pillow form, then stitch the bottom closed. For the flower, cover a two-inch circle of card stock with a piece of a thin sweater; hot-glue to the circle's back. Next, fold a 3- by 20-inch strip of another sweater in half lengthwise. Glue the edges together, then sew a running stitch down the strip lengthwise along the glued seam. Once you've stitched the entire length, pull the thread to gather the fabric and knot. Hot-glue the gathered edge in a circle to the back of the card stock, then hot-glue a pin-back in the center and affix to the pillow.

Lamp

Make over a plain pendant shade by cloaking it in wool. First, cut a large sweater in half along a side seam, removing the sleeves. Pull the resulting rectangle of material tightly around the shade so the fabric meets in the back; cut to fit and hot-glue to the shade. Next, trim the sweater lengthwise, leaving an inch of overhang at the top and bottom. Fold the overhang over the shade's edges and secure on the inside with hot glue. For

safety, use a low-wattage bulb.

Bowls

Keep decorative dishes in stitches: Pull a sweater sleeve over a bowl, lining up the finished cuff with the top rim, and hot-glue. Next, trim the wool so it reaches the bowl's bottom edge and hot-glue in place.

Bangles

Basic bracelets get dressed for the season in soft yarn (and, if you use jewelry you already own, they cost next to nothing). Just cover a plastic cuff in a strip of chunky knit, then hot-glue in place on the inside.

China Lamp...

This is a real cute idea that the kids

can get involved with.

Did You Know...

2010-05-06T15:11:00.000-07:00

Did you know that soy candles have a memory?

This is very important to know. When you light a soy candle for the first time it remembers how far across the surface it melted. For best results and longest enjoyment of your soy candle let your candle surface completely liquefy before extinguishing it. This will result in a longer lasting soy candle without the occurrence of tunneling down the center. Remember, keep your wicks trimmed to 1/4 inch.

Wax Dipped...

2010-05-06T13:53:00.000-07:00

Bears and pretty much any other stuffed toy. I think these

are so cute and a great gift idea.They act like a candle, but you dont burn them. All you do is just set them out anywhere you want to smell great, and add such cute decor. When scent starts to fade, simply blow dry til warm, and it smells great all over again.

Its on my to-make list. Luv it!

How to make the Most of Your Candles...

2010-05-06T12:46:00.000-07:00

When a candle burns down, you can freeze it for 10min, and then easily remove the remaining wax. Not only can you use the remnant wax as tarts for a tart burner, but you can use the container too.

After removing the wax, make sure you hand wash out the rest of the wax. Then run it through the dishwasher. Make sure the container is spotless and smell it to see if the candle scent is still there.

I do not suggest using the container for food .

Why Soy...

2010-05-04T19:30:00.000-07:00

Soy wax candles should be your number one choice for natural wax candles. As more and more people are concerned with the air quality in their home. And what they bring into their homes. They are looking at everything, including the candles they burn and other home scenting devices that are coming onto the market almost daily.

Soy wax candles are gaining popularity by an astonishing 30% a year. Mainly because of a few main benefits namely:

•Soy Wax burns cooler than paraffin or gel, which makes the candle last much longer and not as dangerous to children or pets.

•Soy Wax is a 100% biodegradable vegetable based by-product, not a petroleum based by-product, it's a healthy wax.

•Soy Wax is not carcinogenic and is not toxic, no unhealthy fumes filling your home and lungs.

•Soy Wax is an American grown product, helps the US economy and the American farmer.

•Soy Wax is biodegradable, cleans up easily with warm, soapy water.

•Soy Wax produces less soot, approximately 90% less soot than paraffin waxes, so no sooty film on ceilings, walls, drapes and shelves.

•Soy Wax burns cooler, so it lasts longer, saving you money in the long run.

•Soy Wax is made from renewable resources and doesn't contribute to our dependence on foreign oil.

•Many asthmatics, and allergy sufferers report no breathing problems with a soy wax candle as they did with petroleum based waxes.

•Soy Wax holds the candle color and scent better than petroleum based candles, without any special additives.
