Try combs from the dollar store. They work well and stay in place to use as separators! Also I use tweezers to pull out the beads that fall into areas they don’t belong!
Wonderful info!! Maybe try using a small funnel next time, to lay the beads, if the spoon doesn't give you enough control on placement. The freshie looks fabulous!
I watched another video where they used an old credit card or you could even use a casino players card with slits cut for dividers. That would be a lot sturdier and long-lasting. Great job on your videos, thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for your comment! I’ve heard playing cards work really well, unfortunately this cutter is too wide...someone else suggested combs which I thought was another great idea!
Interesting, I’ve never heard that! I usually store them upside once the bottle is half empty to avoid air bubbles while painting but maybe I should flip them all 🤗
I know that different states have different laws and some of the bigger shapes, especially ones with fringe cross the line. I’ve had the small Aztec bull with fringe in my car and I never felt like it interfered with my vision. I think it’s always best to follow state laws and hang what doesn’t impede with your line of sight. What I have in my car now is smaller than the bull and doesn’t have fringe but is covered in glitter and that is way more distracting because it’s so sparkly and beautiful I can’t stop looking at it 🥹 I also see people in my area though that don’t have a single freshie hanging but have so much other stuff I wonder how their mirror hasn’t fallen off yet lol
Thank you! I’ve gotten beads and fragrance from Lone Star Candle Supply and Aztec Candle supply. I’m trying a new company next which will be Buy It Ship It
The pink mat is actually a fondant mat, it has a lace texture on the other side, I no longer use that one because it is thick and made baking more tricky, this is what I use now on the shiny side www.amazon.com/LEOBRO-Silicone-Placemat-Multipurpose-Heat-Resistant/dp/B07V9KMNGY/ref=mp_s_a_1_20?crid=J4UMM4TNR3NR&keywords=silicone+craft+mat&qid=1656742129&sprefix=silicone+craft+mat%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-20 It does not need to be sprayed. You want to wait long enough that the freshie doesn’t squish, it can still be a little warm or you can wait until it is completely cool to the touch. The beads shrink a little when it is completely cool so sometimes if you wait long enough it will fall out of the cutter on its own.
I pretty much go all the way to the top. The metal cutters have that little edge around the top, I go up to the bottom of that edge otherwise they come out a little too thin for my liking.
I got it from Hobby Lobby, it’s in the baking section with the fondant supplies. www.hobbylobby.com/Party-Baking/Baking-Supplies/Fondant-Icing/Flourish-Lace-Silicone-Mold/p/80727805
I have a question about the beads you said you at times buy yours from buyitshipit I went to buyitshipit and place an order of beads but they asked what shape of beads my question is what shape do you buy? Thank you
