DIY Gilding Wax/Rub N Buff for Embossed Card Panels!

[@KathyaKalinine]

This is a non-toxic way to add a DIY Gilding Wax to your embossed card panels for amazing sparkle and shine. I hope you give this a try and let me know if you want me to show you how to make the paper clay birds! Have an amazing day!

[@created2bless322]

Yes please, to the bird tutorial ❤️

If you want that true waxy or thicker texture cold wax or wax medium can be used. Dorlan's wax medium is what I used. I orig bought it because it's a cheaper alternative to Tim holtz micro glaze and it comes it a huge jar, so I used it to make these rub n buff dupe. If you wanted to use it on furniture I'm sure a wax sealer (wax based usually in a paint can type package) would be more appropriate than the wax medium although it might be no difference. But for paper the wax medium works great.

Hey, thanks for that tip! I’ll remember that when I run out of my wax. Thanks for watching, too! 🥰

Wow Kathya,, these cards are just so beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful technique. 😊🇨🇦

You are so welcome, Brenda! 🥰

[@Pebblesmas]

OMG i see this rubb on, on sites all the time and see fab videos too, but the price here in Holland is way too high for me. Was just (after watching your video about diy exploding powders, first i thought i did want to buy the Arteza micopowders) remembering how many perfect pearls i have, and those bottles are way too small to use amounts of, BUT THAN YOU MENTIONED MAKE UP, YEAH, i have lots if shimmer make up i don't use, yeah!!! Those extra tios you give makes watching your channel extra nice (although the rest of your channel is amazing too😉😂), thx soooo much👍😘

You’re so welcome!!! 🥰

Hi Kathya! You made my day when I did a search after watching Ardyth's video today where she imbedded the use the Tond-Oh, your invention! This is a great video, loved the effect of the DIY gilding wax, very true to your creativity, Thank you! I would love too a video on the creation of the beautiful birds. Glad you are back!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Thank you so much! I will share what I’ve learned on the molds. Thank you for watching! ♥️

These cards are so pretty! Looking forward to the paper molds video! What a brilliant idea with the clear wax & powder! TFS!😀

[@sirrahinct471]

I have been looking for a diy gilding wax and so happy I found yours. I have both on hand and going to try it. Another went thru so much trouble of melting bees wax adding other things like clear glue. This is just wanted I wanted thank you. I saw in the comments someone also used a cold wax medium. I ordered that as well to try. Thank you so much for an awesome video and keeping it short and to the point. ❤️

Yo compré una caja redonda metalica de la marca Álex, que es cera virgen de abeja,que antes se utilizaba mucho para limpieza de muebles,no llegó a 5€ y no huele a nada.Lo use con un poco de mica y quedo super! Mirare para comprar los de arteza,son baratos? Vives en eeuu? Soy española y si es asi tengo que pagar los aranceles de aduana y son muy caros.Justo ayer tuve que pagar la better express y Spellbinders no me dijo nada de eso y pague de aduanas casi 60€./ Gracias por el tip de no quitar el plástico,ali no se puede escribir,no se que ocurre.Menos mal que no abri la caja hoy.

[@KathyaKalinine]

I am so happy you did not remove the plastic from the BetterPress. It will definitely save it from becoming a mess! ANY mica powder will work! If you have cheap eye shadow, use that! You will love the same results but not pay an expensive price! ♥️

[@gloriasurton8341]

Amazing thank you. Can you use Vaseline. Regards Gloria

[@KathyaKalinine]

I am not sure that would work. I think it would be a bit ‘oily’ and not ‘cure’ like the wax will. But experiments are fun!

[@JoyWilsonInk]

I’m curious how long does this diy wax last once mixed and stored in the jars? I’m amazed by your results ❤

[@KathyaKalinine]

I will be honest here…I made my samples, put them in jars and while there was a bit of air in the jars, it dried out. So, I recommend that you only mix the amount you plan for your project. Other than that, this way of wax application is amazing. And it is solid with no other additional product required to seal it. If you have more questions, let me know! ♥️

No worries! It might get me more subscribers! ♥️ How did yours go?

[@sarah24sza]

@@KathyaKalinine it went pretty well I think 2 out of the 6 I made I added not quite enough of the wax paint but just added some more and stirred it again! I posted pictures of mine on the post if you’d like to go look- I hope it does help to get you views and subscribers!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Awesome! That wax is super forgiving so you can always add more, I found. So happy it helped. I love the cost, too. Less expensive than buying a million colors of wax. Can you link to the post? I’d love to see! 🙂

[@creativeness68]

Hello. Kathya. Do I need to add mineral oil and clear elmers glue as a bonding agent? Thank you. Your video seem to be much more simpler than the ones I have watched. Every ones method makes work, but I need a way to stop spending more money. 😩 Also, can this wax be used over chalk painted projects?

[@KathyaKalinine]

Hi! I still have a few of the cards I made using this wax. The wax ‘cures’ (hardens) over a short few days and when I last checked, it doesn’t rub off. It’s really a neat product and you do not need to buy the larger jar. There’s a two ounce one, too, in case you just want to try it. I haven’t tried it on painted surfaces, but if you search the internet, I’m sure you’ll find someone who will demo it. I hope this helps! 🥰

[@creativeness68]

@KathyaKalinine Thank you for your response. 😊

How does it dry though? I've been told you have to add a clear glue otherwise it doesn't dry and stays a wet wax on whatever you're making.

[@KathyaKalinine]

On the back of the bottle, it says it is a wax infused protectant. I noticed when I used it on the embossed image, it dried very solid. It is a beautiful finish in my opinion. I can wipe my finger across the panel and nothing comes off. I hope this helps and thanks for watching. ♥️

Madam! Will this stay on glass? I want to paint on glass post etching.

Hi Karthi! Unfortunately, I don’t know the answer to that question. You might try to experiment on a test piece of glass and let it cure and then seal it…let me know how it goes! 😊

[@curtishunter8478]

How long does this take to dry and once it dries does it rub off or do you need to seal it with something?

[@KathyaKalinine]

Hi Curtis! This wax has properties that make it harden and set over time. I did not seal mine and they are set on the card panels. It does not rub off at all! 🙂

[@curtishunter8478]

@@KathyaKalinine Thanks. I'm looking for a way to gild the edge of paper for quilling and I think this is something I'm going to try. Most people use the foil sheets but that limits the colors you can do. If I can use wax and mica powders there are many more color possibilities.

@@curtishunter8478 Agreed! I hope it works for you. Have fun and thank you for watching! 😊

[@tiffaneyfultz6845]

How long does that wax stay usable in the little jar?

[@KathyaKalinine]

Hi Tiffaney! I noticed they kind of dried up a bit, but because it’s wax based, you could easily warm it up with a heat tool. I decided that I will only make up enough for my project instead of keeping them in little jars. I don’t really have the space for them. I hope this helps! 🥰

Please verify. Your link takes me to folk art. Home decor wax. You said and showed in video it was Waverly clear wax. Which is it. Or does it matter. Thank you

[@KathyaKalinine]

Either of the links I list will work. They are in a semi-liquid form and will work. I think my bottle has the word Waverly on it because they’re marketing to a line of furniture chalk paint which works well with this liquid wax. You can try the small bottle to test it out just to be sure. But it’s the same product I used in the video. Let me know how it goes!

[@christiedecker2724]

This was well worth the wait, thank you so much! OK, so going to have to save so I can invest in mica powders and the Waverly wax...they will bring the quality of a card up multiple notches. Blessings! OH YES!

[@KathyaKalinine]

Yay! So glad you found it helpful! Remember that you can also find sparkly eyeshadow powders at Dollar Tree, too. So, you can buy the small 2 ounce bottle of the wax and test out if you want to invest in the mica powders. Blessings to you, too! ♥️

@@KathyaKalinine Well, that might be an option, yes...except I found out yesterday that my radiator has a hole in it, the fluid I put in was on the ground in seconds...and there is no real public transportation in my rural area of Maine, so, can't do that for now, but hopefully someday in the future.
