    The wax coated papers turned out beautiful. One word of caution I suggest is if you sell your products that have bees wax on them is to put a caution on the product that this product contains bees wax. Many people who have bee allergies also are allergic to bees wax and bees wax can cause an allergic reaction in them. My son is allergic to bees, honey and bees wax. I use reg wax(bees wax free) from candles that I grate up to avoid allergic reaction issues. That also works wonderfully.

      Wow I never knew that. I just figured people with bee allergies are only allergic to the bee's sting but nothing else.
      Good to know.

    Nik the Booksmith makes her vellum paper using clear spray acrylic. Just spritz the paper on one side - wait one second for it to dry - then spray on the other side. VIOLA, it's done. Takes all of two minutes, if that much. Of course, do it in a well-ventilated room or outside. No iron, hundreds of pages of vellum from one $3 can of clear acrylic. No iron, no wax/oil residue on other papers, no mess, no smell, no stickiness, and the finished product can be run through the PRINTER! Try it and you will swear by it.

    • @Gothlite-i1l
      @Gothlite-i1l 2 месяца назад +2

      @@andreaelizabeth5494 The faux vellum is pretty translucent so it takes on the color (or the image) of the page underneath it. I've only tried it on plain copy paper but think it would be a neat experiment with colored paper.

    I used to use waxed paper for crafts with the kids when they were young. I put a sheet of aluminum foil down under the waxed paper. Often I put another piece on top to protect my iron. I love what the waxed paper did to the scrapbooking paper!

  • @debraburger5313
    @debraburger5313 2 года назад

    love this idea. I wanted to suggest that if you brought a plant in a pot from garden last fall they live in the soil and one day out of the blue you have a house of flies. It happened to us after we brought in tiny tomatoes we grew in containers. We were experimenting w/ plants putting frt on thru our northwest weather. About April we had nasty flies all over. I cannot remember where I got my knowledge from but I think it was the computer. That was my experience.

    I used olive oil, jojoba, glycerine and hair oil ....the jojoba worked the best but still bleeds into the sheet below. I'm glad I didn't put the papers in my project🥴 Does the wax bleed or is it completely dry to touch and no bleed.
    Will try your method!

    You can buy a glide compound for irons to make them run smoothly over the cloth. Having the wax on your iron works the same way. Just be sure to have a very thin layer of wax so that there is not extra wax melting into your clothes after you have made vellum.

    Go to the feed store local to you and buy fly bags. You fill them up to the fill line and hang them outside in a tree. The flies are attracted to them and not your home/bbq grill etc. We hang them on either side of our house in the trees and have never had a problem with flies. I will warn you that once they have been hanging out there for awhile, they will start to stink. BUT, they are the best thing on the market.
