[…] Of course, later once I’d finished all my admin I got to thinking about my blog post and realised I’d forgotten to take any snaps of our leaf clearer so I started hunting the web for some nice images and found this awesome craft idea…. […]

Will this work for a guedt book idea could they be written on after the beeswax is on them. Want guest to write their inspirations on them and hang them on a fake tree for display. Do you think they would hold up for that?

You asked about your grammar in this post — “mine and Jonny’s bed.” It would actually be, “Jonny’s and my bed.” The trick is to separate the two and see if it makes sense, as in “Jonny’s bed” and “my bed.” If the two are correct when used separately, they should be correct when used together. 🙂 Also, it is proper to put yourself last in the pair, as in “Jonny’s and mine” rather than “mine and Jonny’s.” A bit of humility is good for us, I guess. 🙂 And there you have a long and winding answer from an English major remembering her grammar lessons. 🙂
I really enjoyed stumbling across your blog today when my daughter and I were figuring out ways to make our own birthday candles. I am a Carholic homeschooling mama of an unreasonable number of children in the same age-range as yours as well. God bless you in your journey!

Six years later, and I have still never learned how to correctly phrase that, so thank you so much!!!

We are going to do this today! I was feeling so ho-hum about school today until this!!!!! I love beeswax. I am thinking of investing in candle molds, especially little votive ones. What a great idea to have a designated dipping pot !❤️

Hi, I love what you do with the fall leaves and the beeswax. Hopefully, I will collect some to use on some other projects. Thanks you very much for showing everything in detail, and thanks to the kids. arlene

I’m also glad to see this – I made a quick leaf garland the other day, but it’s just temporary. I’d like something that could last into Thanksgiving. Also, your stringing method is different than mine – thanks!

I bought 3 pounds. gave 1 pound to the school, and have about 1 and a half pounds left.
I guess I answered my own question! Hi McKenzie.
Regina Vorbach-Boegel says
How much wax did you use for this project?
Regina Vorbach-Boegel says
How much wax do you reccommend for this project? I have 4 kids, but 1 is away at college.
Thank you I loved seeing this last year and want to do this now. Thank you, Regina
McKenzie says
Ha! Hello Mrs. Boegel! It’s Ms. McKenzie. How funny that we read the same blog. 🙂
Amanda says
Beautiful! Just put this on our Fall project list. May I ask how long the leaves lasted? Thanks!
Ginny says
They lasted for many weeks. They still looked good when I finally threw them out.
