How To Make Your Own Metallic Wax

In this video I'm showing how to make your own metallic wax / gilding wax from only two ingredients: oil pastels + coconut oil, and how to apply it to your texture.

[@lindagiles1911]

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! These have been on my wish list and l had given up on ever affording them. I have the ingredients already for this alternative. Brilliant! It amazes me how much craft supplies cost and l have found that there is usually a cheaper alternative somewhere. You deserve a medal!💐

[@NoitArt]

Thank you Linda

[@drikaweb]

Same here. I cannot afford buying them because here arts/crafts supplies are so expensive due to taxation. So I use mostly recycled materials and things I can collect in nature 🌲🌱🍁Thank you so much! Hugs from a Brazilian living in Finland 🇧🇷🇫🇮♥

[@marciminnick-heard7328]

This came when I was going to look for a DIY on Rub-N-Buff or something like it and here this is!! Thank you very much!!

[@NoitArt]

Thank you Marci

[@Abbie7301]

I can’t wait to try this. 🤩 I’m thinking adding some mica powder might be nice since my pastels are all matte. A coffee cup warmer might work nicely for a slow low heat melt. Hmmmm I might have an empty pallet of lip gloss that might work for storage🤗
You Noit, are brilliant, creative & inventive truly a work of art 🖼

[@NoitArt]

Thank you Abbie

I just made a batch of copper from mica, coconut oil (solid) and white glue. The coconut wax melts if you grate it in then goes more solid again. The mica is really cheap in many many colours on eBay. Thanks for starting me on this!

[@NoitArt]

Thank you

Great job. I dont think we get those oil pastels in our dollar stores but I will search for them. This is fun. Love how you made your own metallic paste.

[@NoitArt]

Thank you Marlene. here they are sold in the kids craft section

[@CeraChonaill]

Great idea, DIYing supplies is so much fun. Consider making smaller amounts of each colour as coconut oil will go rancid over time. That way you use up what you have before you may have to toss it. And sealing it is definitely a good idea for the same reason. Even the commercial metallic waxes can mold and end up getting tossed.

[@NoitArt]

Thank you

Noit, you are quite the chemist! It seems like there are many uses for coconut oil but yours is the most clever! I wonder if the same melting and mixing could be done, using a low power in a microwave and small glass bowls or dishes? I also love the look of the texture paste covered with black gesso. Thanks for sharing these ideas with us. They are much appreciated, believe me. :-)
