I think I am offically hooked on these hot wax frames. I picked up these two on the clearance table. Brought them home and sanded them up a bit. I put a layer of hot wax on first, then wrapped the frame in homemade paper I had sitting around. I then put another layer of hot wax on top. If you brush on the hot wax, you will need to fuse each layer with your heat gun. Just slightly until a shine comes up. If you use the hot wax stylus tool, you can skip that part as the tool does the work for you. Pretty neat huh? To embellish. I waxed a couple of slik leaves and then layered two flowers on top with a little bling. These I glued on with Aileens this holds on the wax. The other frame I just used some hinges from Tim Holtz grungeboard collection. I distressed them a little and put on a light coat of perfect pearls (copper). The knob is a wood bead with a brad, also brushed with perfect pearls. So simple, so fun.
