(New Series!) Wax Wednesdays: PaddyWaxx | How to load and use, pros/cons, tips and tricks 

Thank you, Sharon! It’s definitely less overwhelming for me that way, too.

You’re kidding! When it’s cold? Well, I may have to experiment with that sometime!

Hi Kara! I’m glad that this was helpful for you ☺️ I used to be a super hard presser and I had to try to unlearn that habit, haha. The amount of wax that would press out the other end of the pen was unreal! I’ll be so curious to hear if the Everlasting Tip works better for you with PaddyWaxx!

Thank you, Cuqui! There are so many wax options out there now, it can be overwhelming and expensive to find one that works for you. Hopefully I can be one of the many creators out there trying to make that a little easier!

You know I had you in mind for this one in particular! I’ll be curious to hear if anything I shared is helpful!

Thank you so much, Momo Bee! I love watching videos on the same topics from multiple creators, since I feel like I always learn something new ☺️

Thank you, Kirsti! I’m so glad to hear it was useful for you ☺️

I looove that pop!! 🤩 Did you get the super sticky or the regular brick??

@@DiamondsandWashi regular bricks (3). At the time there wasn't any supersticky in stock

Thanks for watching my struggle 😂 And isn’t it crazy how much the weather can affect wax of all things?

@@DiamondsandWashi yessss. But tonight, keeping it warm between my thighs has it working PERFECT! 😂

Oh hooray! Let me know if you’d like me to point you to any other videos that might have other tips for loading and using it, if you’re having trouble ☺️

@@DiamondsandWashi I'm good I watched the creators video also but thank you so much for the offer. I think I got it 😊

I’m always happy to give credit where credit is due! And I do my best to be kind and assume the best in others, too.

Thank you, friend! I’m happy to hear that you found it helpful ☺️ I’ll happily watch multiple videos on the same topic, from different creators, because everyone has different approaches and styles!

I’m so glad you found it helpful! ☺️ you’re more than welcome!

Hi Bonnie! Hmm, I've used Pretty Placers before, if that's what you mean? They work well for special drill kits, but for me, I multiplace too often on regular drill kits for them to be practical for me. But they're worth trying! 💛

Hi Natalie! I’m sorry for the delay in replying - it was a little busy here with prepping for Christmas 😅 I’m glad you enjoyed this first wax video! And I’m so glad that you’re here - welcome! Happy holidays!

I know 😭 I look for one in every Daiso!

I haven't - is that a pen turner? I haven't heard of them but would be happy to check them out!

A lot of people will put the bar of PaddyWaxx under their leg when they're sitting down, so it warms up that way! Alternatively, you could hold it in your hands for a little bit and that would probably do the trick too!

Now that’s an idea I haven’t tried before! Thank you for sharing, I love that!

Oh yay!! I’m so glad it’s working okay for you so far. The pop doesn’t always last for long. You know, I haven’t used the super sticky in a little while. I’ll make that a goal for this week and try to have some tips to share! I do know that you typically have to “scoop” to load it in your pen, but it’s a little trickier than the regular PaddyWaxx.

Everyone is allowed to have their opinions and feelings. And this one made me laugh out loud ☺️

Hi there! You can get it from their Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/PaddyWaxx

Because she doesn’t actually state IN THE VIDEO that it’s likely already being done. If you expect original content, wipe 92% of YT content of the internet. 🙄🙄 PS, I have no idea who else has or still is doing this but I have no interest to find out due to his/her “followers”

We have all seen people review waxes. She never claimed this was a new concept. However, this is HER take on what works for her. It's refreshing to see someone show so thoroughly, how they utilize Paddywaxx, bc I have yet to make it work for me.

Just curious Carrie what have you done thats "so original".... I mean you must have created the emoji since you LOVE to use them (what are you 13?) If not then hOw oRiGiNaL..... LITERALLY in the 1st 2 mins she says she isn't taking credit for this. You must be a person that's threatened by a strong, thoughtful, intelligent and kind woman.... go back on the hole you popped your spiteful head out of and move along.

Hi Carrie! I'm flattered you created an account just to comment. Forgive me for copy and pasting what I also wrote to another commenter. I value integrity and authenticity highly, so I was taking time to puzzle through what you shared, and do a little digging. I'm sorry for the pile-on from my friends and followers - it comes from a place of them knowing my heart and my values well. I shared a WIP & Chat last night with more detailed thoughts, but I'll try to condense it down here, too. It took me a bit to figure out which idea you were saying I'd stolen. I'm far from the first person to review, share tips/tricks, unbox, etc. PaddyWaxx or any of the alternative waxes. And of course I'm not the first to do so in a series-style format or a less formal one. So, I'm guessing it was the "Wax Wednesday" label, though when I searched for that on RU-vid yesterday, any number of videos from various creators (diamond painting and otherwise) came up. I also finally found the channel I'm guessing you're referring to. To be clear, I thought of putting "Wax Wednesday" in my title because it's short, alliterative, and fits neatly with a day of the week. There are any number of alliterative labels about various common crafting things (WIP/Washi Wednesday, Floss Friday, Stash Saturday, Mail Haul Monday, etc), right? I think of those as fairly ubiquitous. If you were to look at my IG feed, on Wednesdays you'll even see that I always have hashtags for WIPWednesday, WashiWednesday, and WaxWednesday. When it comes to crafting, I don't know that anyone has a monopoly on concepts or series/playlists like unboxings, post reviews, how-tos, etc. We all bring something different to the table, and I value hearing perspectives and ideas from a wide variety of creators, since we all have different approaches and preferences as far as how we diamond paint. And if the "stolen idea" was a video title that honestly seems as common and universal as any of the other alliterations I mentioned above, I'll still apologize for that. It wasn't even remotely intentional, since I wasn't even aware of the channel beforehand. I'm the very first person to give credit to others, I'm never shy about sharing other channels/IG accounts, and I love to encourage and build up fellow crafters. And at least for me, I don't find videos engaging for sake of the titles - I'm here for the content. I'm confident in my character, my integrity, and my morals. I wish you the best.

Jealous much?!
