Project Idea: Crystallizing Palm Wax Candles
Palm wax is an all-natural vegetable wax made from
oil palm. It's a unique wax in that it makes a wonderful crystal/snowflake
pattern in candles. Surprise your loved ones by crafting these great
candles!

Making a Padded Book
Cover
I'm getting ready to "scrapbook" my recipes. I bought a plain
3-ring binder that will hold 4 x 5 sheets of paper. I want to do a padded
cover for it, but I'm not sure what kind of glue to use and how to finish it off
on the inside. Does anybody have any ideas?

Looking for a Hacky Sack Pattern
My kids love to play with their hacky sacks and I thought it would be a
great a idea to make some new ones for them myself. Has anyone seen
any free patterns?

Soy Vs. Paraffin
Hey candle makers, what are your thoughts on soy wax vs paraffin
wax? Do you use both? Do you like one better than the
other?
