Thank you so much for sharing! You are so good with the tutorials. I just got a melting pot and was a little scared to use it but your video was awesome:)

I've done similar crafts like beads and I used to wax the wooden skewers so glue or glaze wouldn't stick and ruin the bead.

Janie if you still look for a way to make the hole in just squeez the toothpic in clear embossing ink before you put it in the mold and then give the UTEE in the mold... you'll get out the toothpic easily

Can you use the molding clay again for another charm after u use it for the wing.. Just asking

[trexconstruction]

Just love this!  Went straight out to look for the moulding clay but couldn't find any. Do you have the product name of the moulding clay? You said you got it from your store but we are not lucky enough to have Michels being in New Zealand

Thanks for the tips! I am thinking of getting a melting pot, and I wondered how you changed the colors! Thanks so much for sharing!

HUGS,JANIE

This was a great video. It seems like something else I need to buy

Coating the toothpick with either embossing ink or perhaps some archival safe oil might do good as well. Not sure what they have out there in oil that is archival safe, but worth a try I suppose.

@shesheparton Not a dumb question, at all. UTEE stands for: Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel. It's by Ranger Industries. Hugs, Suzy

[ENAIRAMA1]

wrap you toothpick in waxpaper and or the mat paper you have there and voila.... I guess :)

I know why I love my skinny Scrapper by Pampered CHef.....lol

[solennerz]

not dissolve but soften and be easier to remove..

[solennerz]

cant u leave the charm in water and the toothpick will dissolve?

[1tinac]

Coat the tooth pick with embossing ink maybe to lubricate it. I know that Suz Weinburg made beads and to get the beads of the stick she coated it. Great demo. Thanks. Lovin your videos.

You make it look so simple...i'm going to have to invest in a melting pot now.....thank you so much for sharing....by the way, I love watching your videos...hope to see more soon.

Thanks for the sweet comment ! These charms are probably this easiest thing I have ever done !!! I would love to continue to share videos ! And I love the nice comments too !!! I think I am going to do another video today ! Be on the look out !! HUGS, Janie

You culd try using your versamark pad as a release agent for your toothpick. Roll your toothpick around in the pad before putting it in your mold. I know this works for rubber stamps when you stamp in the utee. (It works like greasing up a cake pan). I had not thought of dipping the flowers in there though. very cook idea. Thanks a bunch.

[Scrapdillyishious]

Wow! Wow! Wow! That is awesome! I gotta try this sometime! Love your videos, and the southern accent makes it even MORE sweet :)

I need to get my tootie fruity in gear and get a camera so I can join y'all in the video fun! :)

By the way... LOOOOOOOOOVE your craft room. It's inspiring!!!! ttyl, Lexen~

[TypicalScrapbooker]

Hi Lexen ! Thanks so much for the sweet comments ! This is a very fun project to do ! And as you can see not hard at all !

Miss Janie, Wowzer sister, another awesome video! Great job... I am kinda chicken to fire up the pot & play with it. You are just an old pro at these!

Gale The Happy Stamper :)

[TypicalScrapbooker]

Lol Mrs.Gale I do wish sister sister ! If I could ever stop saying um um threw all of them ! But I am not going to let it discourage me ! I guess if we are making videos instead of watching them we are gonna save some money !! Fire up that pot I know if I can do it you can do anything ! You are super creative you will see how easy peasy it is ! Maybe we could start a Mold Swap ! Havent heard of one of those ! We need to do the other swap too ! It will make us feel we got to go shopping ! Janie
