[@alisonwedincamp1546]

These are the types of tutorials I've been looking for! Thank you so much! I hope you keep sharing with us about tips and tricks because I will be watching every one of your tutorials! I love this.

[@dawnsullivan6233]

So pretty!

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Thank you!

[@reneefab69]

Oh my!!.. you are incredibly good.. I love love that you are so detailed. ❤️

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Thank you!

[@BAMBEAR3]

Such a thorough tutorial. Thank you for sharing!

[@rbergamo5]

Good tips on determining how much for each color.

[@dawnsullivan6233]

I love the background music what is that? Where did you get that mold?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

The mold is from “Freshies In The USA” on Etsy

[@dawnsullivan6233]

What a beautiful mold. And great, informative video. I really like your background music too. How do you get rid of any little bubbles

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

The only way to disguise any imperfections is to add glitter to those areas but in most cases tiny flaws aren’t a huge deal

[@kaybryant7987]

Will shrink wrap work or freshes or not

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I bought some to try and although I really liked the way it looked I could smell the freshie straight through the shrink wrap which means it did not lock in the scent and it would not last long packaged that way. I don’t know if there is maybe a polypropylene shrink wrap out there somewhere, if there is that could potentially work.

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

So I was curious and looked it up, they do make polypropylene shrink wrap but it says it’s used least often because it has a higher melting point and is less stable when shrinking

[@teresamaiden2910]

What micas are you using? Or is it something other than mica? I can't get those vibrant colors unless I use too much mica.

[@mrseaharpermrseaharper6826]

How long do you bake yours I notice how smooth they are and if you bake them longer do they still have a good long lasting scent

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

So I bake at a 315 and the length of time really depends on the size of the mold, the wings are pretty large so those usually go 18-20 minutes. I bake all of my molds on the lower rack of my oven so the heat is more concentrated on the detailed side of the freshie. I always do a really firm press about 2-3 minutes before it’s done baking and then again once I take it out. Even still they aren’t always perfect but I have never noticed the scent being affected.

Pretty

I have been trying to look for a really good pigment and I see yours are great! I was wondering where you get your pigments from?

[@reginaedwards897]

If you don’t mind me asking where do you get the aroma beads?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I don’t mind at all! I get mine from Buy It Ship It 😊 www.buyitshipit.com/Unscented-Beads_c_43.html

[@dawnsullivan6233]

Do you add a nail so that you can have a hole

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Because this design is so detailed it’s hard to work around the nails so after I demold I heat a nail with a lighter (holding the end with pliers) and melt the holes.

[@dawnsullivan6233]

@@FarmhouseDesigns okay! You are so smart and ingenious!

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

@@dawnsullivan6233 haha I don’t know about all that but thank you! 😉

[@mistypender9329]

Do you have a tutorial for the mom life mold?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I don’t, I actually don’t even have that mold….

[@mistypender9329]

Oh ok, thank you for responding!

[@patriciajackson3883]

Can I use this mold with resin and add a picture in it

[@crystaltuttle4558]

Where is this mold from? Please

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

This one is from Freshies In The USA.

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

You can find her shop on Etsy, I tried to post the link but it won’t let me….

[@angiepriddy9828]

You are awesome I've watched some of your tutorials several times. Well explained a beautiful woman creating beautiful freshies. Thank you for your time. Do you sale wholesale ? I do own a botique so thought I'd ask but I'm trying also to create these on my own , slow process. Thanks again

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Thank you so much 😊 you’re so sweet, yes I do offer wholesale, you can find me on fb facebook.com/farmhouse1205/

[@priscillagalvan6491]

What temperature do you put your oven on for.?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Depends on if I’m using molds or cutters and how large the shape is. For this one I believe I cooked it at 275 or 300

[@priscillagalvan6491]

@@FarmhouseDesigns for how many minutes

[@catlynholley586]

She said she did this one for 26 mins on 275

[@LittleLadyk2002]

Great detailed Video. I was wondering when you added fragrance. Did you add fragrance to the clear beads prior to so it cured and then added color or? Thanks for all your videos they are so helpful.

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Yes, I added the oil to the beads, let them dry then cure for 7 days and then added the color right before filling my mold ☺️

[@cirillazcreationz2634]

What silicone is use to make those molds thanks

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I don’t actually make molds but to my knowledge it’s just a 2 part silicone mold mix, same stuff that is used for resin molds. If you search “making silicone resin molds” you’ll find some videos about the type of silicone used.

[@jasminehembree7649]

How would you do it if you want to add a fragrance?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I did add fragrance.

[@phlebotomychicbadges]

I noticed that you put glitter on some of your freshies. How and when do you do that process?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Depends. I do it a couple different ways. First way is I mix it with the beads in the cup, second way is I sprinkle it on the top about a minute before the freshie is done baking and then put it back in the oven for the last minute, the third way is I sprinkle it onto the pan or mold and then pour my beads in and bake and the fourth way is I rub it onto the silicone mold or mat until it is completely covered, tap out the excess, pour in my beads and bake ☺️

[@dawnsullivan6233]

I heard you say 26 minutes what temperature

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I usually do between 300-315 degrees but ovens vary so you may need to adjust your time and temp based on your oven

[@monicamontenegro1839]

Do you bake them in your actual home oven? Does the fragrance effect your food when you bake?

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

Yes I use my kitchen oven, there is no scent left behind after the oven cools or when it’s heated back up again.

[@monicamontenegro1839]

@@FarmhouseDesigns Thank you so much!

[@cheer4baseball]

I done my first angel wings and when I go to hang it, it's top heavy and flips over....any suggestions?

[@beemoreno2973]

Does the fragrance stick to the mold? I’ve had some molds that the fragrance sticks to and no matter how many times I wash/clean them they still smell like the fragrance so I can’t re use the molds

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I don’t ever clean my molds between fragrances, I can always smell the last fragrance used on the mold but I can never smell it on the next freshie I make. Did you try a different fragrance and could you smell the previous fragrance on the next freshie?

[@beemoreno2973]

@@FarmhouseDesigns yes. Maybe because they’re cheap molds. I’ll have to try one of those resin molds and see how it works

[@emeraldself1159]

How much would you sell this one? Considering it takes more time to make and it’s a bigger one

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I personally sell them for $12 but I could see going all the way up to $15

[@angiepriddy9828]

R u going to put a hook at top . Didn't see a nail

[@FarmhouseDesigns]

I left the nails out because it would definitely make the process more difficult. I’m going to heat the end of the nail and make holes that way, I haven’t done it yet because I’ve seen some issues with this freshie in particular because of the height and weight of the wings if you put the hole through the heart it leans forward or backward so I’m going to make sure I get the holes in the right place, there will definitely need to be one in each wing.

[@TheMaggiemonrreal]

@@FarmhouseDesigns did you figure out the placing of the holes? I'm making this one and this was something that I was questioning.

[@kaitlynkilgore6613]

Also needing this answer.

[@sandracrawn623]

Mine keep coming out sticky ..

[@tenahaugdahl1378]

I have a question about the beads you said you at times buy yours from buyitshipit I went to buyitshipit and place an order of beads but they asked what shape of beads my question is what shape do you buy? Thank you
