What a good hack. Thank you
Glad you liked this. I’m happy to be able to save my crocs. Thanks for watching.
Now I see how you figured this out...Someone’s shoes shrunk by mistake 😂
Haha. You’re right! Thanks for watching
I made a calendula and Garlic infused olive oil for my dogs yeast ear infection. Worked wonderful!
Oh wow. I’d never heard of that. I learned so much from my wholistic vet. There are many ways to help our furry friends using natural remedies. Thanks for watching. So glad your pup is feeling better.
Hand to eye is definitely risky but that's where the pain is so will try at night. Absolutely LOVE the turtleneck and loose sock hand ideas.
Thanks for watching. I hope you get some pain relief.
Thanks!❤
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
This is maybe too much innecesario work. I think you can use another type of color paper, like crepe maybe??? Easier.
Yes, you can use crepe paper. I’ve made other flowers with it and I love how they turn out. This video shows and alternative paper that’s inexpensive and has its own unique look. Thanks for watching and happy flower making.
Excellent tutorial, and beautiful job. 👏👏
Thank you for watching! I hope you try making these.
Amazing work! Beautiful!
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked them. Thanks for watching.
How very delightful makes one smile . Will definitely try.thanks
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy making this soap. 🫧
Thanks for sharing! What would be the ratio if I already have liquid propolis extract/tincture ?
Hi there. I’m using raw propolis and extracting its benefits using the oil. It sounds like you already have a finished product. They most likely extracted the propolis using alcohol or another method. I would search the product you have to see if and how it can be used for topical healing. I’ve never used extracts or tinctures so I can help with that. Thanks for watching
@@suzyrebelo ok...thank you very. yes, I just purchase a bt
Who did you order your supplies from? What company? I’m very interested in starting this project. thank you for sharing👍
Hi there. I bought my supplies on amazon. I bought “Tuparka” felting wool roving with basic kit. The natural wool roving I bought from “Komodo’s” I bought it in 2022. I think you’ll really enjoy felting. Thanks for watching.
I've seen a number of these tutorials but nobody seems to mention what to select when it comes to paper type... My Epson selection is Plain, Glossy, ultra glossy etc.. I'm selecting plain but personally i don't seem to get enough clarity for that setting
Hi there. I used my hp office jet jet pro. I used “ plain paper best” setting. I think results may vary depending on the printer and ink used. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
Hi I made this exactly how you said my boyfriend said he doesn’t feel anything. I used 90,000 cayenne pepper.
Hi there. I’m sorry this didn’t offer any pain relief. Sometimes, you need to use it for a while and then stop to notice if it’s helping. However, we are all different so it might work immediately for some , and not as much for others. I know it helps a lot of people with pain relief, I’m just sorry it didn’t work for you. I hope you don’t give up on herbal remedies , there are lots of benefits. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, great video. Do you have to use the crockpot method? Can you just add the oil into the propolis and let it sit for 4 to 6 seeks
Hi there. I have used that method with other herbs but I’ve never tried it with the propolis. I’m guessing the resin and beeswax may not dissolve at room temperature to produce a salve. Thanks for watching.
Can you use water instead of oil?
The propolis is not water soluble. You can make tincture by infusing it in alcohol. Hope this helps.
Thanks for watching.
@@suzyrebelo Are you sure? I just looked up this product & it looks like a tincture with water instead of alcohol. So basically a tea. See: Raw Pot Propolis Extract . I found this recommended by another YT channel
Hi. I looked it up .I have no idea how they extract it using water. I’m using raw propolis, it’s a sticky resin with bits of bees wax. This is what thickens the oil into a salve. If it can be dissolved / extracted using water, then I’m not sure how it’s preserved. Sorry I can’t be more helpful. I’m not an expert on it . I’ll have to do more research
you can add vitamin E to stop the oxidisation of the oils
Yes. I use it in my in skin care products. Thanks for sharing and watching.
just a question please, am I able to make a salve with bee venom?
Hi there. I’m sorry but I’ve never heard of that. I’ll have to look into that.
I lov this for special needs children who lov throwing balls ! !

Thanks for watching.
Still a fan here Susie ❤ Great to see you and love your channel. Happy New Year🎉
Thank you. I really appreciate the support. Happy New Year to you as well! 😊
Can I ask what song is playing at the beginning of the video? I would love for my daughter to learn this on her violin 🎻 Thanks for the awesome video! Can't wait to experiment with the sheep wool we have!
Hi there. The music c is a sound bite on my iMovie program. It’s called “sprightly “ and it’s only 10 seconds long. I can see why it would be a good piece to play on the violin. Thank you for watching and happy felting.
@suzyrebelo Ok! Thank you so much!
Do you ever accidentally mess up the wax and if so what do you do to fix it? Ty
Yes, I’ve had some messy candles. I just used the heat of the hair dryer to smooth out imperfections. I heated the area slowly and kept turning the candle until it was as smooth as I could get it. Hope this helps in making your candles.

Thanks so much - I've processed aloe vera before, but your way of doing it is so easy 🙏🏼
Oh good. It’s so great to have it on hand this way. Thanks for watching. Happy new year.
This video could have been done in under 5 mins
That was so lovely and easy too. Thank you!
It really is a fun craft, and pretty too. I’m working on another felting project that turned out so cute. I’ll share that soon.
Thanks for watching
The milk was about to spoil soon, so I made cottage cheese from four cups of whole milk and 0.25 cup vinegar. I had no cheesecloth, but I had super clean knee high hose. Believe me, they were clean! I stretched out the hose over a colander and just let the curds strain through.
So glad you tried to make this. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I do. Thanks for watching !
Just amazing!
Thank you. It still looks great. Hope you try this too.
Thanks for the inspirations!
So glad you liked this. Thanks for watching
I made this and applied it to a fever blister (cold sore) on my lip. It has really helped it heal quickly - faster than aciclovir (prescription medicine for fever blisters/cold sores) Thank you
That’s great. Thanks for shattering and watching. Happy new years!
used borax can be used to wash your toilet and sinks!
That’s a great idea. Thanks for sharing
These flowers are so wonderful..you are a true artist..I mean that..I will try really hard to make some..I have some recovering to do first..THANK YOU ahead of time. For sharing and helping us learn how to make these little wonders..they look so real!!
So glad you liked this. When you’re ready , you’ll see how easy these are to make. Happy flower making and thanks for watching.
I hope my comment will help anyone that has a breakout of shingles or fever blisters, As soon as you see a red rash, blister, or eye drainage, apply the propolis. Take l lysine immediately to stop a shingles breakout. You can put propolis in the eyes to stop eye damage from shingles.
@@cherylreiter2107 in the eye? Do you use a preservative or sterile container?
I know this tutorial was done 2 years ago, I guess it's true when they say better late than never, I was looking for something else and came across this one, glad i watched. I will be making a lot of these now.
So glad you liked these. It’s a fun and useful craft. So many occasions and designs you can experiment with. Happy crafting and thanks for watching.
Buongiorno signora le chiedo quando le saponette si sono asciugate aggiunge altra lana poi si attacca ?
Good day. Once soap wrapped in wool is dried …then you can add more wool to create a design by needle felting. Hope this helps and thanks for watching . Happy holidays.
Grazie infinite per l informazione, seguirò il suo consiglio e il suo tutorial. Mi piacciono tantissimo ble sue saponette proverò a farle. Tantissimi auguri di buon Natale
Thank you But you say the temperature should not exceed 133 degrees. But some studies say that it does not exceed 60 degrees in a water bath. Where did you get this information? 133 degrees, thank you
I use many sources like the beekeepers who supply my raw propolis. My beeswax’s alchemy recipe book. Mountain rose herbs website where I buy ingredients, their UA-cam tutorials. Herbal academy is also great source of information and many others. The general rule is to gently warm the herbs without destroying their properties. I believe no more that 140 degrees Fahrenheit which is about 60 degrees Celsius for about 3 hours. I used 122 degrees for 4 hours. It worked great and I could see the change in colour and consistency. I did try a second batch and reused the propolis with new oil. I only managed to extract a bit more , judging by the colour and fluidity of the second batch. The real test was applying it to a small wound and it healed beautifully. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@suzyrebelo Yes . I mean, does 122 degrees not destroy a percentage of the properties of propolis scientifically and in a laboratory experiment? Does this Bizwax website contain scientific articles on these topics? Thank you
can you use single cream
I’ve only used whole milk and 2% milk. The whole milk works best. I do add a little cream to the final product but not to make the actual cheese. Hope this helps.
can you use apple cider vinegar instead
Hi there. The vinegar has to be acidic enough to curdle. Homemade apple cider vinegar was not acidic enough to curdle the milk. I’ve never tried with commercial apple cider vinegar so I’m not sure about it setting or taste. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
I'm have trouble with the heat. I keep moving around the image but I'm getting ridges in my wax. Can you help?
Hi there. It helps to use a glove to hold the tissue in place. Hold the hair dryer far enough to gently melt the wax. You’ll see the image become clearer as the wax melts. Hold the candle firmly and rotate slowly as the wax melts into the tissue. It takes a little patience and practice. Hope this helps.
This is so cool!! Thinking of trying this for Christmas, should the water still be close to boiling when I add flowers the mixture? Or does it need to cool down a bit first? Thank you for the tutorial!!
Hi there. The water should be hot and cover the top so it cools down slowly. It helps create those crystals. Hope this helps
Looks like a poinsettia.
Yes. It does. Thanks for watching and happy holidays.
You're so creative!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support.
Love those,thankyou❤❤
I’m so glad you liked this. Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support.
Thank you for sharing. Great idea & great for the holidays 👏👍😁💕
Thanks for watching and happy holiday folding!
On this you We’re talking about holding your measure cup up off the bottom of your pot . I use the two piece canning jars lids to put into your pot of boiling water. I put four lid tops to hold my measuring cup up off the bottom . Just a thought for you . Thanks
Oh great. Thanks for the tip. That’s helpful.
@ where are you located at or what state ??.!Thanks
@kathyhathaway8823 hi. I’m in Collingwood Ontario Canada. 🇨🇦
@ I thought so I love your accent. I am in NC
Hello Suzy a question. Did you ever get a chance to Go back an make another batch of the propolis salve by reusing the propolis you started with to see if it was still as good ?? . I have been using your recipe an I love it . Thanks
So glad you like this. I think it’s has amazing healing properties. I have tried reusing the propolis. The end result was a runny and light coloured salve. By observation only, it seems there was less propolis infused into the oil. I did use it by adding fresh propolis and repeating the infusion process. This isn’t scientific, just my observation. Hope this helps.
Do you have to use a preservative? So these ingredients disperse the oil? Or does it remain separate?
Hi there. This toner keeps for 3 months or so. I’m using commercially bought aloe and glycerin which already have preservatives in it. The vitamin e and essential oils help with other beneficial properties. My toner is cloudy, it doesn’t look separated….i think the glycerin and aloe help keep the toner emulsified …but I always shake before using it so it’s well combined. Hope this helps. It feels great on your skin.
Hi what is the quantity of propolis flakes and oil used in the recipe? And is the final salve soft enough for a pump bottle, or squeeze tube?
Hi there. The ratio is 1 oz propolis to 8 oz oil. 1/2 oz vodka The salve is very soft . Its firmness depends on how much wax is in your raw propolis. My propolis was soft enough to use in a pump that is appropriate for lotions. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@ did you get any condensation on the inside lid of the jar? If I use cheese cloth instead is it fine to let it infuse longer?
@ValencerShand hi there. No I didn’t get condensation. Make sure the temperature isn’t too high. I used the lid to prevent any water getting into the propolis. You can infuse it longer if you think it needs to release more of the propolis. You can tell if the colour has deepened. I would recommend you remove it from the heat and let the jar cool. It should be creamy when set. Then , if it’s not infused enough , warm it up again for another hour or so. Remove cool and it should be ready to use. Hope this helps.
@ did you use raw propolis with bits of bees in it? Or did you freeze it, blend it and separate those parts? Or did the bee keeper do that already for you? Thanks
Hi there. I ordered the propolis from local bee keeper. It came in its raw form , crumbled, and ready to use. No bits of bees in it.
so...are chili and cayennepepper the same? I thought that was two different peppers?
Hi there. Cayenne pepper powder is what I used. “Cayenne is a specific type of chili pepper, whereas “chili pepper” can refer to any pepper in the capsicum family” Hope this salve helps. Thanks for watching.
Is it fair to assume that the more porous the material, the better it works?
Hi there. Porous ,yes, but also textured. Pipe cleaners work excellent at creating crystals because they both absorb the borax water and they have texture for the crystals to grab on to. Hope this helps and happy crafting.
@ thanks for the reply!!! 😀 I’ve spent the past 2 days experimenting in my kitchen… you just saved me lots more trial and error! Sincere thanks 🙏🏽
Wonderful. If you decide to spray them , do the lightest spray from a distance. If you spray too much, the crystals become dull. You don’t need to spray, they keep very well. Me be still look great after a year of sitting on display. Enjoy.
Im so happy that I found you on UA-cam! You certainly explain and show how to make your beautiful peony flowers extremely well. Amazing. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad you liked this. I keep moving my bouquet around the house and it looks great no matter where it lands. Thanks for watching and happy flower making.
