New Pattern and a DIY

Angel Feather Oranment DIY.  What you need:

Clear ornaments balls with removable tops

White Feathers

Ribbon

Card Stock

Your angel feather saying

Place a few feathers into the ornament balls. I bought mine from Michaels, and choose the glass ones over the plastic. I just thought they looked nicer that way.  Tie a ribbon onto the top of the ornament.  I would choose a smaller size ribbon because it is much easier to tie than  bigger width one.  I just googled the angel feather sayings I found and these came up.  I modified them a tiny bit, found a angel image and printed them onto card stock. I made my cards about the size the business card so they wouldn't be too big.  I added a pdf freebie in the box at the bottom of my page for you all to download.

A feather from an Angel,

Is one we rarely see.

But  this one is quite different,

And as special as can be.

The feather is a reminder

Of a special persons love....

Who is now your Guardian Angel,

Watching & protecting from above...

Angel Feather Oranment

I'm from your guardian Angel

That's been assigned to you.

I was dropped in her struggles

While she was protecting you.

Each time you almost stumble

Every time you nearly fall

Give thanks to tose above

For answering your call.

Day 4

Tarts are simple to make. But can take some time. I first start by using a parafin-soy wax. I order online about 50 lbs at a time. Decide how much of a batch you want to make at one time. Normally I use 20 ounces of wax at a time, which is about 2.5 cups.

Put the wax into the pot and place onto the stove with a candy thermomater. I turn my stove onto meduim high. Melt the wax but don't let the temperature exceed 175 degrees. I tend to keep mine around 140 - 150 degrees.

After the wax reaches 150 degrees and it all melted, take it off the stove.  Then add your oil and color.  Stir in oil and color thoroughly.

Pour into the cups or molds. Let them sit long enough for them to cool down before you move them. If you move them too soon, they can crack.

After the tarts have cooled place them in your bags and create your labels to sell them.  Make sure to let the tarts sit 3-4 days before burning any of them to let the smells cure.

I've also included a short tutorial on making layered tarts. I am making seasonal Christmas tarts that are layered.

I am using molds so it is easier to see the layers. First pour in the first layer and set in freezer for about 10 minutes to cool almost completely. If you don't let them cool long enough, the colors will bleed together when you pour in your next color.

Next, pour in your second color and then repeat step 1, and place them back in to the freezer to cool almost completely again. Also make sure when you are pouring layered tarts to keep them on a smooth surface, if you don't then they wax wont sit flat/straight.

Lastly, pour your next layer of wax and place back into the freezer. This time make sure they are completely cooled! If you leave them in the freezer long enough, the tarts will just fall right out of the molds into your hands. So you won't break them or anything.

And this is what your ending tart should look like when layering them! It is simple once you get the hang of it. Just have plenty of patience when waiting on them to cool! These red and white tarts are a Christmas Special. Candy Cane. They smell amazing.

I have another freebie for your ladies today. I have made another free stitchery pattern for you. These are "Free Snowman Cupboard Tucks". I have made these available in the box at the bottom of my blog. This pattern make an approx 5"x 5" and 5" x 7" stitchery pillows.

Don't forget about my giveaway. Go sign up. There is only a few days left to enter before I announce the winner! Click here to go sign up.

It seems blogger is still acting up with people leaving me comments, etc. So I just went into my settings and changed a bunch of stuff so I hope this helps! Just email me at samanthaschmidt90@live.com if it still wont let you leave me a comment.
