how to make diy BUMBLEBEE WAX WARMER
Paint the wooden bead yellow.
Create black stripes around bead with black Sharpie. Here are my other “Sharpie” inspired crafts…
Allow to dry while threading embroidery floss through a black button through two holes. Tie off into a double knot and trim to create bumblebee antennae.
Hot glue button head to wood bead and optionally add a second button as the bottom of the bee.
Cut off two of the yellow loops together from the loopy yarn.
Hot glue the bee to the loopy yarn wings.
Cut out wording from decorative napkins.
Separate napkins to reach the thinnest single layer.
Apply a thin layer of mod podge to the wax warmer front.
Position napkin wording over mod podge and add top thin coat of mod podge. Use a baggie or saran wrap to smooth over any bubbles. Be cautious not to tear the delicate napkin layer.
Allow to dry and hot glue bumblebee to side of wax warmer.
Add wax cubes and enjoy!
