Gearing Up For Christmas

A "how-to" I am positive you will never use....

Let's make some fake milk, y'all!  
​Wait, what?  Why?  Oh because I have the most adorable set up for my upcoming Christmas Studio Special......cookies and milk for Santa.  YES.  

I love your babies and toddlers but let's be honest, we don't need real milk spilled all over the place.  After a few trials I have found a way to create non-spillable fake milk so no one has to be nervous about making a mess while we are taking pictures.

Step 1.....Acquire the goods: white candles, milk bottles, striped straws.  

Step 2....Chop up candles and melt them in a bowl you don't mind potentially ruining over a double boiler on the stove top

Step 3....Pour into bottles and immediately place the straw in there.  Use a funnel (I just used paper) so the wax doesn't splash on the sides

Step 4....let them set, watch them turn bright white again, and use in a photo shoot!

Nope....thats not an insanely fast shutter speed.  That's the peace of mind of fake milk.  

I am PUMPED.  Is cookies and milk all I have up my sleeves?  Nope.  I've got a garage full of Christmas props....stay tuned!
