Does anyone here do the wax dipped teddy bears?
I've seen them online, but I haven't really seen them around here and I think those would make really cute gift ideas!

I have seen them at local craft shows, and they are adorable. Here are the instructions on how to do them yourself, if you would like it:

 WOW! Thanks so much! I never thought of doing these myself. I just bought 4 of them at Shaker Woods for Christmas gifts. They are so adorable and smell so wonderful. Now I'll be able to keep one for myself and make many more for gifts!

a presto pot is like a crockpot for melting wax. You don't need to use one to melt the wax, you can use a regular pan put water in it and use a metal pitcher to put the wax into, place in the pot of water, kind of like how you would melt chocolate.
