Red Neck UTE

So the other day I got the brilliant idea to try melting some Ultra Thick Embossing Power or UTE on my stove in a tiny little pot I had. Unfortunately, I could not get the heat low enough and burned the batch resulting in the house stinking to high heaven.

Talked to THE MAN (who of course wanted to know why the house smelled like burnt plastic) about my reluctance of spending $30 on a Tim Holtz UTE burner. 

He said, I get that. You probably will only ever use it once a year. 

He said, lets set up the camping stove in the garage where we can get ventilation easy enough by opening the doors and try that. 

Our camping stove isn't all that pretty. But you can see how nicely it melted up. I just put it on the edges of my Christmas cards.

Let me show you what a nice Coleman Camping stove looks like. Substitute perfect pancakes and bacon for UTE in a small metal tray. Use the absolute lowest setting ever. Voila, cheap solution.

Anyhow, they turned out nice! None left to show you since I mailed them out asap since I am a wee bit late with cards this year. 

I have plans to melt more and turn domino pieces into gold ATC perhaps or something else exciting along those lines. 

Happy Friday!
