DIY Wedding - Candle Place Cards Using Tissue paper Transfers

I have seen a few KZbin videos on this subject but most are for images from ink stamps not text. My tissue paper was printed on using an ink jet printer.
I'll be using these in my DIY Candlesticks at my wedding for name tags.

[@haniamohmoodi4731]

Thank you so much. The tutorial was very helpful. I wanted to make personalised candles for my wedding but didn't know how, this tutorial was super helpful!! Thank you!!

[@chemam50]

Great idea Kim! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@brownbirth2008]

The best DIY craft video I've watched so far !! It worked a treat after a few attempts. First attempt jammed my printer severely but managed to fix it and gave it another go with a few minor changes. I used a font called odstemplik. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@kimwallace1170]

brownbirth2008 Thanks so much for your comment! I'm so happy you liked it and that you found it useful. I would like to do some more videos for my channel but don't have the inspiration & time at the moment.

[@larilynespenili9981]

What timenof tissue paper to use?

[@larilynespenili9981]

[@annettemartinez1857]

[@Heatha2112]

Thanks Heather Conrad :)

[@dusthaven]

love it

[@lauraclancy4768]

I love this idea and have a family member who is getting married this year. I was just wondering about how people know how to find their table. Do they find their name on a regular place card when they get to the banquet hall and when they find their table, their personalized candle is there waiting for them?

[@small-timegarden]

I was just looking at your video thanks for sharing I had a thought about fitting the candle into the candlestick .if the candlestick is too big then what you can do is melt the end of the same candle or another candle and let it drip into the candlestick before the candle wax dries. Drip it and put the candle into the hole and that should allow it to bond and stand without any space problems and you won't have to stick any paper inside of the candlestick

[@KimZanatta]

Thanks shayne caesar The candles i ended up using were shorter and fitted the hole really well. Your tip for adding extra wax around the end will help some viewers though so thanks for sharing :)

[@ZakirrahRBlogger]

Thank you so much! I have been wondering how I could get text onto candles for a while!!

[@kimwallace1170]

Thanks Zakirrah Bookblogger I really appreciate your words of kindness :)

[@bobisous]

It's very beautiful, Where to find beautiful letters to write his name? Thanks !

[@KimZanatta]

Thanks for the comment @Laura Clancy For my wedding I will be doing an A3 size alphabetic list that will have the persons table number on it & the candles will be in front of each seat. You could always add the table numbers on the candle (with the name) or a little tag on each candle stick with a ribbon or group them into table numbers then place them all on a table for people to collect before interning the reception. Or any other option you may think best suits your event. Congratulations to your family member!

[@lauraclancy4768]

Thank you for your response. I will run your ideas by my family member and see if it's something they would like to do. You wouldn't happen to have any pics to share of the table setting from your wedding would you? I bet they looked lovely and everyone loved them!

[@small-timegarden]

You're welcomed.

[@mimozamimo8885]

merci

[@daughteroftheking9392]

Great idea. Do you have pictures of your wedding reception table

[@kimwallace1170]

Once i figure out how to do it i will :)

[@TheAngelsWithin]

Hi that is awesome but how do you get the writing on the tissue paper please x

[@alyshatse5552]

Hi Kim I was just wondering what baking paper you used? Thank you

[@VincentCh8n]

What printer do you use? Inkjet or laser? I only have a laser printer, would that work?

[@Iamjovymendoza]

I wonder what font have you use for your candle, its very girly thing, very nice . perfect for your wedding

[@seradoxa3537]

Jovy Mendoza “respective” xx

[@mayannegonzales5888]

do the wax paper or baking paper differ from partchment paper?

[@KimZanatta]

@Laura Clancy my wedding isn't for another 3 months so I don't have any pics just yet but I can take a couple photos of the finished product for you.

[@lauraclancy4768]

Oh. Sorry, I didn't realize that. I know you have a zillion things to plan for but if you remember, that would be great! Thanks much!

[@debbieferguson4360]

thankyou so much for sharing.. good luck with your wedding :) may i ask which font you used please? thankyou

[@kimwallace1170]

debbie ferguson The font is called 'Respective'. I find it's best used in a bigger font size or it's becomes a bit hard to read.

[@debbieferguson4360]

thankyou Kim Wallace

[@thelifeoffife8358]

would love to know the name of the font u used plz?

[@kimwallace1170]

De Jeunesse The font is called Respective.

[@caroldeeds5454]

do you need a laser printer and what is the name of the font you are using?

[@mskkhan9699]

hey love I was wondering where to get these stamps??

[@mayur67]

A great Idea kim, can u plz tell me the font that u Used ?

[@kimwallace1170]

Mayur Jagani The font is called 'Respective'. I find it's best used in a bigger font size or it's becomes a bit hard to read.

[@mutyacrisostomo6728]

hi Ms.Kim..just want to ask what kind of tissue paper did you use and printer type.?thankyou..

[@briegeentwistle7823]

Do you think it would work with white tissue paper on beeswax? Do you think you would see it?

[@appledalipe3444]

what kind of tissue you used? an ordinary tissue?

[@renurawatnegi425]

i m not able to find it. ur video is toooo good.

[@FlowersandmorebyRhonda]

i am wondering... will the tissue paper fade into a colored candle so you don't see it.... have you by chance tried it like that?... and GORGEOUS candles too :D

[@kimwallace1170]

You most definitely can use this method using a colored candle, because the tissue paper is white the colour of the wax will slightly colour it but a dark candle will make the black text hard to read.

[@FlowersandmorebyRhonda]

Kim Wallace GREAT.... I was curious say for ivory or a light color... I seen one vid and they did it on ivory... but you could see the white paper... I just didn't like that... then I found your vid and LOVED the tissue technique... Thanks again :D :D :D

[@RubyRijeanRycka]

does only inkjet printer works? what about laser and deskjet? thanks

[@kimwallace1170]

Ruby Velasco In theory both should work but I can’t confirm as I only have inkjet. There will be other videos on KZbin that you may be able to search and ask them?

[@ilovemytoonephews]

Were did you find that beautiful font?

[@KimZanatta]

I think i downloaded it form a free website. The font is called 'Respective'. I find it's best used in a bigger font or it's becomes a bit hard to read. Thanks for the comment ilovemytoonephews! :)

[@michelleyoung934]

love the fonts whats the website called to get fonts please

[@janettehernandez27]

Michelle Young I get free fonts from dafont.com, watermelon and weatz are beautiful fonts too

[@justinebrabante477]

hi iwana know wat script u use for the lettering of the names? its a very pretty fonts

[@kimwallace1170]

Tin Tin It's called Respective

[@xxxemac4xxx]

hi i like your video soo much and have tried this too but im wondering is it normal to have wrinkled tissue paper after? it was perfect after i heat it & then after a while as i leave it...the tissue paper wrinkled...

[@KimZanatta]

xxxemac4xxx I'm not sure why that happened. I've got candles from 3 years ago and they haven't wrinkled. Maybe stretch the tissue paper more when you heat the wax? Or try a different tissue paper?

[@xxxemac4xxx]

Kim Wallace thanks for replying :) iwill try those suggestions... thanks much & have a good day :)

[@songofsunrise]

great idea - have you tried if there are issues with the tissue paper and the flame setting it on fire?

[@kimwallace1170]

+songofsunrise Yes I have. The candle burns like normal, once the tissue paper shows aprox 2cm the top will catch on fire slightly but only for a couple seconds before being extinguished when the flame hits the candle wax again. Larger (thicker) candles shouldn't be a problem until the tissue paper is extremely long in which case you should fold it down or cut it off.

[@salehamaali6062]

Merci pour ce tutoriel très pertinent ! Vous avez utilisez quelle police svp pour écrire ces jolis prénoms 🙏

[@sannia22]

Hi dear where can i buy that tissue paper? And what kind of font is it you are using? Just loved it!

[@kimwallace1170]

sannia22 I got the tissue paper from a $1 store but you can find it anywhere that sells wrapping paper or a craft store. The font is called 'Respective'. I find it's best used in a bigger font size or it's becomes a bit hard to read.

[@sannia22]

Ok thank you so much for you answer :)

[@tulip8388]

does anyone know if this works with colored candles? do i need to use colored tissue paper?

[@kimwallace1170]

denise amore yes it does but the darker the candle the harder to see the text.

[@artsculturenagomiart6312]

May I ask if I do not have wax paper, can I using parchment paper?

[@kimwallace1170]

You should be able too yes, please try it and let me know how you go?

[@marryshieldcordova3979]

Hi just wanna ask ,the fint us respective ryt , how about the size of it ??

[@kimwallace1170]

Marry Shield Cordova I don’t remember the exact size but it you do a few sizes then print on normal paper you will see what size is best.

[@marryshieldcordova3979]

hi, i just want to know what kind of paper you use on printing name,🙂,

[@aliyaKhan-ix6iq]

Any tissue paper works

[@caroldeeds5454]

how to transfer from photo or words to glass???

[@roselynbacodio1043]

Can you comment down here what are the materials did you use. Thank you.

[@szabadosbernadett9598]

Tissue paper is like baking paper?

[@kimwallace1170]

No, tissues paper is what you use for wrapping presents or putting into present bags/boxes. Baking paper is slightly more robust and used for baking.

[@starrspoter]

I asked about baking paper most use waxed paper but can never find that

[@KimZanatta]

I used tissue paper for the transfer & the wax paper goes around the candle to hold the tissue paper down while you heat the image.

[@renurawatnegi425]

hi dear kim which type of tissue paper is this. i m from india

[@kimwallace1170]

Thanks for your comment Renu! I'm not sure what tissue paper is sold in India but in Australia we use it to fill present boxes or bags for gift giving and for arts and craft. It is similar to tissues you use to flow your nose but a bit harder and not as soft. I hope this helps.

[@lemuellynbayang8907]

any tissue paper will do?

[@kimwallace1170]

Lemuel Lyn Bayang yes, if you use a coloured tissue paper it will give it a different look.

[@lemuellynbayang8907]

how about tissue that i use for everyday? is it okay?

[@thepracticaldiymomma1567]

Can I use japanese paper instead of tissue paper?

[@kimwallace1170]

Sarah Pacua I’m not familiar with Japanese paper but I would suggest giving it a go. Let me know if it works.

[@thepracticaldiymomma1567]

@@kimwallace1170 is the tissue paper you used is also for gift wrapping?

[@kimwallace1170]

Sarah Pacua yes it can be used for this also

[@minettemeneses4072]

hi. i want to know if it will work on colored candles? can i still use white color tissue paper?

[@kimwallace1170]

Minette Meneses yes, the colour of the wax will coat the paper. The only issue is that you will need to make sure your text is thicker and bigger so you can read it. The darker the wax the harder it will be to see the text. Maybe do some tests before buying all your supplies. Best of luck to you.

[@minettemeneses4072]

Thanks much, Kim! I'll take note for that.

[@88maximous]

I wanted to try this but before I do I wanted to know what happens to 'white space' around the name? Is it visible after you transfer the name?

[@reneerichards260]

A

[@kimwallace1170]

Crystal Hills - The name of the font is 'Respective'. I find it's best used in a bigger font size or it's becomes a bit hard to read.

hey love I was wondering where to get these stamps??
