waxing poetic

What, you may ask, are these little creations? They are for waxing your thread! You simply run the thread between the beeswax and your thumb to apply the wax. It makes your thread smoother, stronger and less likely to knot up. It is especially helpful to wax linen thread as it makes it easier to pass through fabric. And, since wax makes thread slightly stiff, this is a perfect way to make whiskers for little creatures.

I’ll show you how to make the flower basket. Follow the same basic instructions for making the Frozen Charlotte ones, skipping the steps for the basket handle and flower preparation.
