    Are the scents specific for wax or essential oils?

    • @janesdistractions
      @janesdistractions 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Carol, That is a good point! Yes, these scented oils are made specifically for soap and candle making. (I ordered these on amazon a while ago.) You can bypass the need for scented oil by repurposing existing candle wax that has scent. This is a good way to use up spent candles that don't quite burn all the way down. Or you can leave the scent out completely. Thanks - Jane :)

    Birdhouses are some of my favorite things to collect. I have them in all different sizes and shapes. I would be happy to sacrifice a couple to make some Christmas dioramas. Yours are so cute and adorable. I do not have any of the vintage looking Christmas figures, but maybe I can find some at the thrift store. I watched your Christmas thrift finds and I cannot wait to see what you make with them.

I've done that myself and wish more people saw the value in doing so. I have a couple of those clocks and I'm planning to do the same thing with them. I like decorating with natural items, so that's another thing we have in common. I can't wait to see what you do with everything!

    Enjoyable video but don't use superglue on dollhouse windows as it can fog up acetate. Its better to use UHU or E6000, whatever. You have a lovely dollhouse and some great ideas❤ I will like and sub because theres always lots of crossover in the crafting community and sometimes its nice to watch other artists because they often have ideas you wouldn't have thought of and techniques that can be utilised in miniature making. Double sided tape is great, I wish I could have prevented your superglue disaster, thats what I mean about different ideas from different areas of crafting, its always worth watching other artists to get fresh ideas and knowledge. If you like miniatures, Little Gretchen's workshop, Queen City Minis and Tiny Keyhole minis are some great places with super talented miniaturists that are well worth having a look at.

    • @janesdistractions
      @janesdistractions 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, you are right and thanks for the tip. I think I knew that it wasn't going to go well and indeed it did not. It all turned out ok in the end. I agree about crossover in the crafting community - I love to learn new tricks and and techniques! :)

      The maps and hymnals would be perfect for this project. I don't think the diamond glaze is necessary but it is nice to have a glossy sealer on the outside of the box. I think the diamond glaze would work if there was a raised edge on the top of the box to keep the liquid in until it dries. :) I would love to know how your project turns out. -J
