Salt and Sealing Wax Beads

Lear MISS OOOhs
You have helped so many that
am sure you will help me.
I would like to make some beads
from salt and also from sealing wax.
VIII you please send me direct ons
for making them? CURIOUS.
The other day 1 published d.
rections for making sealing wax
hatplns, but know of no way OF
making sealing wax beads. Perhaps
a reader will tell us her method.
To make salt beads, take one cup
of fine table salt and heat it very
hot. Dissolve one half cup corn
starch in one-half cup water. With
the cornstarch solution mix the
coloring matter, which may De
bluing, Easter egg dye or red INK
for salmon pink. To make black
beads, use black ink.
Remove the salt from the fire and
add the colored mixture. Work
with the hands into a smooth
dough- Wrap 1t in a damp cloth and
break Off pieces of equal size "a
thimble Is a good measure), mold
ing them into. beads. String beads
on hatpin, a knitting needle or a
Ine wire, and dry several days.
They shrink In drying. To polish,
rub the beads with a cloth which
has been dipped in sweet oil.
String with steel or gilt beads be-
tween the colored ones. Pure white
beads alternated with gilt beads are
pretty.
N. B.-A reader wrote the other
day to say that she found 1t neces-
sary to double the amount of corn
starch before the bead mixture
would attain the proper consistency.
Another reader uses the ingre-
dients in the following proportions:
Two tablespoons of salt, two of
water and one Of cornstarch. This
amount, she says, Is all that 10
needed for an ordinary string OF
beads.
