Waxed Leaves - Autumn Traditions

[@maryowings5755]

I would never have thought to dip the leaves in melted beeswax but they turned out beautiful. I especially loved how they were displayed hanging on a branch

What beautiful traditions. I can’t wait to make some of these myself.

Thank you and have fun!!!!

I’ve done the first method with crayon chips dispersed around the leaves for added color. Also the first way but cut each leaf out individually after. Going to try beeswax now, thanks for bringing the fun memories and new ideas!

[@the_everydayartisan]

I am so glad you enjoyed it! We have made wax paper lanterns with the crayon bits too!

[@sweetsugarjones]

@@the_everydayartisan Neat. That’s another one to try out. I have some semi translucent paper that might be a good fit.

Now can you paint on them with acrylic paints after waxing with the wax paper ?. Thank you

[@the_everydayartisan]

@@sandracroft307 Great question! While I haven’t ever tried it, I would expect acrylics to work!! I will give it a try - if you do, please let me know how it goes!

Hi! How many blocks of beeswax would you suggest melting? Can I get away with just one?

[@the_everydayartisan]

@@AMoon-xq4ry Great question - I used about one pound of beeswax in a small crockpot. Best wishes and enjoy! 😊
