Wax-Dipped Plush

by

I was searching around last night for some new candle project ideas, and I stumbled on this project from CandleTech - Wax Dipped Plush Animals. You take a teddy bear or other stuffed animal and dip it in melted, scented wax to create a sort of air freshener. This is a neat idea!

They recommend using 1.5 ounces of scent per pound of wax, which should give a strong fragrance. If the scent starts to fade, you can warm the animal up with a hair dryer for a few minutes to refresh it. They don’t mention this in the instructions, but it would be best to remove all ribbons and other adornments from the plush animal before dipping, and then adding them back in after the wax has set. I would also guess that plush on the shaggy side would work much better than the short, velvety kind of plush which would likely be stripped of the wax entirely when combing.

I’ll definitely have to give this one a go, with a variety of different types of stuffed creatures. I’ll post my findings when I can figure out how to get my kids to part with some of their old stuffies! Sounds like a great way to give them new life, and a good idea for holiday gifts for teachers and hard-to-buy-for aunts.
