Thank you SO much for sharing the primitive decor. It is SO HARD to find folks who DIY in that style. Awesome 😊

[@RepurposedMyWay]

Thanks so much Tina! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🥰

[@terryciavola5962]

Thank you for renewing my love for primitive decor! I’m going to try grubbing up some candles. Love what you do! ❤️

[@RepurposedMyWay]

You are so welcome! That is so exciting! Thank you😊

[@charlotted6247]

I came back to this so I can make me some primitive Fall candles. I'm going to order my mod podge today and visit DT for spices. This is exactly what I've wanted!! These are beyond beautiful. Thanks again. Primitive never gets old and boring .

[@RepurposedMyWay]

That's awesome Charlotte! Have fun and let me know how they turn out😀

[@CDN1975]

Literally, just this morning I was looking for videos on making grubby candles. Talk about perfect timing.

[@RepurposedMyWay]

Too funny! Well hope this helps😀

[@kathybauer9715]

I searched grubby candles yesterday to learn how to make them myself and found this video! Let me tell you I went out and got my supplies today can't wait to make these tomorrow! New subscriber you are simply amazing!

[@RepurposedMyWay]

Hello and Welcome Kathy! I am so excited for you to try it. I love how they came out. In a newer video, I mentioned that I added more coffee because I like the darker look and I also showed the difference by just using cinnamon (which I like too). Here is the video in case you want to check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGHZlGmYZ95gb8k. Let me know what you think and how they come out!😀

[@kimchilton8723]

They all look great. I wondered though does the outer coat especially with paint affect the smell of the spices? Also the stars reminded me of when I made a dough out of equal parts cinnamon and apple sauce and made ornaments with cookie cutters. They still smell and look great after over 20 years. Except the ones I made too thin

[@RepurposedMyWay]

Yes, it does tone the smell down quite a bit. I remember doing the cinnamon and sauce ornaments with my kiddos years ago. I think I still have some in my ornaments too. ☺

Thank you Lesia! There is a link in the description to purchase the battery candles and stars from Amazon. The round wax candles I purchased from Dollar Tree. If you mean the finished products that are already grubbied, I need to restock the candles in my Etsy shop. The link is in my description also.

[@darreng8827]

You are so awesome. Thank you for sharing this. I have been using your technique on some old battery operated candles. I also used it on some string light candles for Christmas tree. They look amazing. We love watching your tutorials. God bless you ☺️

[@tiffanyperkins3310]

I'm new to your channel! My dad has made primitive art for years (over 40) and I've always loved his stuff, but didn't know how to style it or do any dIYs, to go with them, to bring them out. Thank you so very much!!

The wax candles don’t burn after they have been grubbied. They do smell good though.

Do the candles take on the smell of the spices when you burn them? Great video - thanks!

[@RepurposedMyWay]

Thank you Eleanor! Once the candles are grubbied they can't be burned. The wick will burn down to the candle and go out.

Hi I just found your channel and I love it.. I have a ? Can you still burn the real candles with the mod podge on it?

[@susanbenavidez2391]

I also like the primitive look. Do you light the candles and if so doing this technique, will it have a fragrance??

[@RepurposedMyWay]

Thank for the great question. These are for decoration only. The won’t burn the mod podge or spice mixture makes the wick go out. Of course in a situation where you wanted to burn it, you could scrape the spice off the top down to the wax and keep the wick. It would burn then.

[@joanhawkins8552]

I have a "grubby" " gringy" question for you. I have a roll of furniture webbing for a ton of crafty projects, but it is new and I want it to look old. What do I do to un-new it.

[@RepurposedMyWay]

If it it canvas or cloth material it would be easy to coffee or tea stain it. Coffee gives a darker stain than the tea. Make sure which ever mixture you use is warm and submerge your webbing in it. Check to see how the coloring is after 30 minutes and keep checking until desired darkness. ( The color will be lighter after it dries.) Spread it out in the sun and it should be just the right aging for your project. Hope this helps, Good Luck!!

[@joanhawkins8552]

@@RepurposedMyWay its like thick woven burlap with two lines of red stitches down the length near the edges.

[@RepurposedMyWay]

@@joanhawkins8552 I would try the coffee soak. It can't hurt if it doesn't work. Just don't rinse after soaking and leave it to dry in the sun if possible.

[@dorothylehman4164]

okay I understand how you do that but if you cover your bulb what type of lighting are you going to have coming from that light why would you cover the bulb is it going to make a big difference or not

[@RepurposedMyWay]

The light is a little more muted when you grubby it, but still a good amount of light comes through. I have seen them with and without being done. I prefer adding the mix to the bulb, but I think it is personal choice.
