Your blow dryer isn’t just a regular hair styling appliance — it’s a powerful household tool that’s about to become your new BFF.
1. Add gloss to cake frosting.
Turn your blow dryer on the low setting and slowly blow the warm air over the cake’s frosting (about 6 inches away) to make the sugar “sweat,” adding a professional finish and shine.
2. Transfer homemade designs to a candle.
Draw a design onto tissue paper with permanent marker. Then, cut around your design to get rid of the extra paper. Place your image on a candle and cover it with wax paper.
Aim your blow dryer on the image for a few minutes until the wax paper melts. Carefully remove the wax paper and admire your handiwork!

Wear thick socks and aim the heat at the tight area.

This also works to remove bumper stickers and contact paper.
