Halloween explosion box

Ok, let's be honest here: I've been waiting for this for weeks!!!

I started working on fall's projects in mid-August... you know, it was hot and sunny, and the only thing that relieved me from the heat was thinking about Autumn!

I recently bought several interesting fall-themed items among which a set including Halloween stamps (from My Favourite Things) and dies (from Die-namics), 2 sets of Distress crayons (I'll dedicate a post to these special, yet debated crayons!!!) and few other things...


That's what I came up with: a Halloween explosion box with an elegant look but with the traditional trick (actually a treat ;-)) inside!

I have created the white background by using a white Distress crayon

I've coloured the monster's face with pastels


Hand-drawn spider and cotton made spiderweb (spiderweb has been a brilliant suggestion of my husband)

Curious to know what's inside the box? Visit my Facebook page to watch the video with the exploding box!

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
