This truly made my heart sing. It was relaxing, and you could tell the amount of love you put into them. My mother came to me a few years ago and handed me a box filled with my passed grandmothers sewing supplies. Inside was a block of beeswax. I nearly cried in joy. Thank you for bring back that memory.
Ooooh! Now I know what I'm going to do with the silicone madeline pan I have that I haven't used in ages, but can't bring myself to pass on. I happen to have a metric crapton of wax from a local beekeeper that I bought for a project that only needed a fraction of the quantity. Thanks for the idea!
I use a beeswax salve before knitting/crocheting and it actually makes such a difference. Not just for my hands but the finished project looks just a bit neater.
I never realized that this was a thing for sewing. I learned something new today. Thank you, Elewys! I always use beeswax in my lip balms and lotion bars. I hope you have a good New Year's Eve.
I made the mistake of using one of the lumps of beeswax burr comb straight from my hives (first year) for trying to wax some very fuzzy linen threads so the sticky beeswax picked up all kinds of fuzz... so I used my solar wax melter (a sheet of glass over an insulated cooler with a silicone baking dish at the bottom to catch wax dripping through holes punched in a metal pie plateusing a paper towel as a strainer ) to strain the fibres out of the lump (used paper towels make great camfire or fireplace starters). And one of these days I will make enough room in the meadery to start a batch using the rinsings from my cappings from this harvest and will melt all this summer's little chunks from my solar wax melter together and make cakes in my silicone muffin tins (reasonable size for later use), plus some for sewing in my silicone mini muffin tin...
@@beverleybee1309 It makes beads slide easier, thread doesn't tangle and adds structure. And if not using Nemo or other beading thread, it preserves the thread from rotting.
Lol, I saw this & thought it was food. Silly me! Great, I also have some decrepid molds that need using, and beeswax from another project. Thanks! Have a lovely New Year💗

I put a loop of golden string in them beforvthe wax hardens so they can double as ornaments and later Grace the recipients sewing boxes
Great idea!
We use it in beadweaving too. Helps the thread slide through the tiny hole of a seed bead.
Those would make lovely gifts.

Absolutely love these. My teenlet and I use the same molds when we make soap together.

I mean, who doesn't love a good snail, am I right??

I wish you all a Happy New Year from Norway 🤗🎇🎉
Happy New Year!
What a wonderful idea for little gifts for crafty folk. I love your little pouring pot. It looks very cute and so practical.
Found it at a thrift shop! It was perfect for what I needed...which, at the time, was for melting chocolate. :D
@@elewysoffinchingefeld3066 Ah! The chocolate theme again! 😉😉
bonus, your house smells wonderful when you melt the wax :)
Blessed New Year.
I use beeswax for my beadwork.
Both Native American style and fashion.
Smells wonderful.
I hadn't thought of waxing thread for beadwork. I've used it for hand sewing and quilting. Learned something new. Ty

My mind is blown! I use beeswax in my lotion, but using it for the sewing and beading thread is a new concept for me! Thanks for the tips! 😁👍🏻
Lovely!
Happy New Year!
happy new year!!
Beautiful! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year

Please can you demonstrate how to use the wax to strengthen and lubricate wool?
I have never done this with wool.
Happy New Year from Ottawa Ontario Canada Elewys!
