Two How-to's You Will Never Use

If you missed it.....a few years ago I posted a tutorial on something you will never need to learn how to do....make candle wax milk for Christmas Minis!  I knew I wanted to do Cookies & Milk for Santa but was plagued with the problem of babies, toddlers, and kids knocking over real milk.  My brother to the rescue - his idea, and he deserves credit.  Candle Wax.  

After a few years of use they got a little beat up so here we go again, making a few fresh bottles and while I'm at it let's document the process.  

You're welcome.  Enjoy this how-to I am positive you will never use.  

Oh!  And I've added a hot chocolate scene this year.....scroll on to see some quite simple copy and paste photoshop magic. 

Quite simple really.  Acquire the goods.  Break apart candles, melt over double boiler, pour, and let set.

And VOILA!  Kids can pick 'em up, move 'em, knock 'em over and we don't have to worry about a thing! 

Next!
​I added a cute Hot Cocoa scene to my minis this year. 
I wanted it to look outdoorsy and I had a cute little puffy vest for Ben, but it was "itchy" and after he cried and complained we found the softest sweater we could to get on with the promo pics.  

I considered making candle wax hot chocolate, because, its genius!  But with my oversized mugs I thought candle wax would be too heavy, and realizing how quickly I could photoshop this, we're just going to go with that for minis.  
​
​One:  Take Photo, load into Photoshop

Two:  Make real hot chocolate, and take a picture of it.  Load into Photoshop. 

Select and move, drop onto photo of child your'e working on

Transform until it looks just right.  

VOILA!  Like Magic.  And the steam?  Just another Photoshop trick. :)
