I've been experimenting with the frosted ornaments from the previous post, and I have learned quite a bit. When Danny made his, he just dipped and let cool...dipped and let cool. I found that if you fill the ornament with water, the process happens much faster, and the end result is much smoother and prettier.

| And, then...I used crayons, just like with my candle globes, and sure enough... that looks good, too. | I also tried to carve a design in the wax, after dipping. I like the result. I used the engraving bit on my Dremel rotary tool. | I even used some rubber bands and dipped the ornament a couple more times to cover them. I think I like this one best. |
I am completely inspired, and am probably about to
go over the deep end with these ornaments.
If you don't hear from me.....
send out a search party. :)

That's so cool. I love your blog. I can't wait to see more of these ornaments!
Cool...I wonder what would happen if you opened the ornament up and did this process on the inside of a clear glass ornament. I've tried that with paint, but I wonder about wax???? Let me know if you try it.
