PROJECTS Waxed Canvas Tool Roll / 1+2+3 LED Pendant
boiler and paint it on before melting it in with
a heat gun (Figures
L
and
M
). This method is
faster, but provides less control over the amount
of wax that is applied — you’ll get a full soak on
the first application. This method also allows you
to make your own blend of wax. I made a mix of
paraffin and beeswax at a 1:1 ratio.
Applying heat to the waxed fabric helps it soak
in and become evenly distributed. It’s so satisfying
to watch!
Once waxed, the tool roll is stiffer, darker in
color, and has a water-resistant finish (Figures
N
and
O
). I added a few patches to my tool roll
before the waxing, since it’s easier to sew the
unwaxed fabric (Figure
P
).
USE IT!
Load up your new tool roll and get out there and
make something!
This project also makes an excellent gift for any
makers in your life — it’s fun to make a bunch of
these (Figure
Q
) in whatever colors you like.
