I scrapbook, I not only bake but I decorate cakes. I have many New Years resolutions but only one I know I can keep. Consolidate and organize!!! The only way I can do that is to get myself a craft room. I have My Cottage in the sky that I used in the past but because it is not attached to the house I find that I don't go out there as much as I should. Transforming a guest bedroom into a crafts room / guest bedroom would be more useful. This week I started to consolidate. As I was cleaning out my pantry I found buried in the back some old Candle jars. Now these will come into use in my craft room.
In a few minutes the wax will start to melt along the sides. As soon as the centers are soft I removed the hot glass with a paper towel. I then dumped the small amount of melted wax from the jar onto a paper plate. I immediately broke the remaining wax up with a fork and removed it from the jar.
I put the candle jars in a hot pot of water. Not Boiling!!!!
I put the jar back into the hot water for a few seconds to melt the residual wax off. I removed it again and with a paper towel and wiped it dry. As soon as the class was cooled I washed it with soap and water.
Dried it clean
This is why I save things.
I knew if I saved them long enough they would come in handy..(*_*)
We are going to go full swing in transforming the guest bedroom into my new crafts room starting the New Year. You will see step by step demolition and decorating.
