Decorate Your Own Candle PartiesHow They Work...For the Decorate Your Own Candle parties, Leah would bring a variety of pre-made soy wax candles, handmade wax mould embeds and pressed flowers. Premade soy mould embeds, include succulents, cacti, and themed designs (such as Easter, Birthday, and Christmas).
Once the candles have been chosen, each person would lay out their design on the sheet provided. It will give you an idea of how many and what types of moulds are needed. A quick heat up of the top of the wax and attach the moulds. The same thing can be done with pressed flowers.
Kids parties are also available with different packages based on the number of guests. For example, the $200 package will provide premade soy candles for 10 kids and a tray of pre-made wax embeds in chosen theme- such as Under the Sea/ Mermaids, Space and Birthday.
Prices will vary based on number of guest and candle size chosen and addition of activities.
Additionally, pouring and demoulding wax embeds is another fun activity offered. Discover how to make wax embeds in this beginner-friendly workshop, using silicone moulds. We bring a variety of moulds and coloured soy wax for the kids to try. They would carefully pour the wax into your silicone molds, filling each cavity to the top of each mold without going over. The kids have a chance to see the effort and precision needed to create great wax decorations. Demoulding delicate wax projects can be tricky. The most difficult trick is waiting for the wax to completely cool before attempting to remove from container. We teach other tricks to prevent breakage during the demoulding process and explain that patience is key.
Party OptionsReal Feather & Tinsel Hair ExtensionsAttaching Feathers with Beads - Process We will part your hair the way you normally do and pick out a small section of hair that's thin enough to fit through your silicone bead in the area where you want the feathers. We will pick it up from underneath the top layer, so that the top layer of your hair will hide the bead and the tip of the feather from view. For a subtler, more mature look, pick a lock toward the bottom and back or side of your head. This way it will peek out when you move or turn your head, but you can pull it back if you need to for more formal settings. We will slip bead on hook, pull hair through and situate the bead about 1⁄2 inch from your scalp and slip feather through bead. Clamp the bead to make sure it's tightly in place. Let your hair fall into place and style it as normal. To remove the feather, just use your pliers to crimp the bead in the opposite direction, so that it opens back up and slips easily out of your hair. Cost 3 feathers for $20 includes bead, feather Hair Tinsel 5 for $20 |
