How do I dip my Plush Stuffed Bears and Animals in wax?

You have to use pillar or votive wax to make wax dipped stuffed animals. You melt your wax in a presto cooker or a double boiler. Use a candy thermometer to gauge your temp. Get the wax heated to 170 degrees. After it is heated add your scent I always add extra since its going to be setting and not heated.

Can I use Candle Wax to dip my Plush Stuffed Animals?

For candles I put 1oz. per lb. so for the bears I would double the scent. Stir the wax for 2 minutes to make sure scent is mixed with the wax. You will need a pick to pick the fur after you dip so it won't be flat. After your wax and scent is mixed its time to dip your critter. I also use a cookie rack to drain the excess wax. Dip your critter then squeeze excess out then after a minute I dip a second time just to make sure it was fully dipped. After you squeeze excess out set it on the rack and start picking the hair so it won't be flat. You want it to be fluffy. Its best to place the rack over the pot so that any that drips will go into the pot. After you have picked its fur leave it to cool and harden. After it is cool decorate it any way you wish.

If not, where do I buy wax for it?

 You can buy wax kits at Joanns, Michaels and Hobby Lobby.

Wax Plush Bear Care...

Do not set waxed bears on wood surfaces as the oils in the wax can stain the wood!

To refresh your bear, simply use a blow dryer to heat him for approx. 1 minute.
