Nice video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard about - Chireetler Earning Maker Rule (should be on google have a look)? It is a great exclusive product for learning how to make candles for fund or profit without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my close friend Aubrey at last got excellent success with it.

Sheneaka Gaddy Your welcome... I’ll be making a part two soon.

[@fabulouslymade490]

Can you burn them

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Sheneaka Gaddy They are more for decoration. If you choose to burn them I would suggest only for a short period of time and only up to about a half an inch above the logo. I wouldn’t suggest burning past the logo.

Thank you for this diy. I have been trying to adhere vinyl to candles. The wax kept the image from sticking. I will try your method today only using the images I cut using my Cricut machine on the tissue paper. If it works I will let you know. Thanks again. I love the looks of your candles.

[@glendyr.7087]

wooh. just love those candles😍😍😍

[@tinasoblessed6350]

Very pretty, nice video! 🙏🙏

[@IlanaM21]

Amazing video! I just gave this a try and it doesn't seem to stick... i followed all the steps: printed perfectly onto the tissue paper, held down the wax paper on top, and used a blowdryer on high heat for a few minutes. Which part should peel off?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Hummm it sounds like you did everything properly.... Maybe it could be the candle that you used or you may possibly need to blow dry it a little longer. Did you apply the glue stick to the back of the logo before blow drying? Once you finish blow drying the wax paper should peel off with ease.

Great video new subbie keep up the good work🤗

[@benjaminashery7728]

Thanks so much for this video. I have been starting to make custom LED candles for restaurants and bars. Some of them come out right but others start bubbling in certain spots. First time I saw glue being used on the back of the image before blow drying. Any advice on what to do about the bubbles or preventing this?

[@amandaparish9794]

I know this comment is 4yrs old, but if you happen to see this…. Did you find a solution for the bubbling?? I’m having the same problem😫

[@benjaminashery7728]

@@amandaparish9794 yes, I found the solution. You have to print on a single ply napkin. Tissue gift paper and tracing paper is not porous enough which causes bubbling. However, when the napkin is deplyed to one ply layer, the heat is able to penetrate all the way through with no bubbling.

My printer is inkjet also but its not as dark. Do you face a glossy side of tissue paper up on the A4? Or was there a special setting for printer?

[@parismontgomery4929]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Will this work for printing colored logos?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Paris Montgomery Thank you so much for watching......I personally have not tried color logos but I believe it should work just the same.

[@parismontgomery4929]

You're awsome! Thanks for the response back! Have a great evening

[@narimanlife_style7490]

what's the rol of the paper tissue ?

[@FinnMiaBelle]

Nano Nita to transfer the ink onto the candle (this is what the hairdryer is for)

[@ladycalexander6645]

How did you figure out the measurements or would you share please

[@IamChristianDanielle]

I resized the images about 4-5 times and printed each size out until I visually had the sizes that I was satisfied with.

[@frontporchwisdom1119]

What were your decal measurements for the candles ?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Teresa Schofield Unfortunately I don’t have the file in my lap top anymore so I can’t tell you what size they were. When I placed the logos in the word document I didn’t really pay attention to what the exact measurements were. I simply resized them by sight and printed test prints until I had a size that was satisfactory. Of course if you are making duplicate candles like the Gucci candles, you will need images that are the same size. So once you have one image the size that you like you will just copy and paste that particular image in the same word document so it will be the same size.

[@adriannn9]

Hello! What size is that candle you use for the Gucci?

[@abhaghai3724]

Can these candle be used for burning or they are just for decoration

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Abha Ghai Hello, I would suggest these candles be used for decoration purposes only. They do have the ability to be burned, but if you choose to, do so at your own risk and I wouldn’t suggest burning past the paper.

[@FinnMiaBelle]

Danielle INC the paper is not supposed to be on their after the hearing process lol....

[@lindsayb7509]

Why go to all that trouble to burn and ruin them??? They are for show, for decoration.... for display.....! 👌👍

[@ainibakat149]

Is there a more specific name for the tissue paper? When I look up at online shops only facial tissues / paper napkins came out or decoupage printed tissues came out- not the plain white translucent tissues like i see in your video. Thanks

[@IamChristianDanielle]

It’s the white gift tissue that you put in gifts. You can purchase in the party section at the Dollar Tree. If you go back to the beginning of the video when I show the supplies the name is on the paper. It says Gift Tissue.

[@ainibakat149]

@@IamChristianDanielle Got it! Thank you.

[@Cricelia]

My tissue paper didn't take the ink well and had wet marks along the page when it came out.

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Crissy F What kind of printer are you using? Mine is an HP inkjet. I also used the tissue paper from the Dollar Tree.

Hay babe I was using cheap ass dollar tree paper but I went and got hallmark some printed well and some ran hp envy 4500

[@doriv1762]

Girl i love these! You did that! They are so cute and high end looking!! what size candles did you use to make these?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Thank you so much...Honestly I don’t remember what size they are but any size candle will really work. And once your in the store looking at the candles in person it’s really easy to decide which ones would look the best.

[@DustinsWorldJoinMe]

need help my tissue paper and printer paper keeps getting jam ?? could u help me im i doing something wrong

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Not quite sure, I never had that issue. I would say check to make sure the paper is taped down properly. If it is, it may simply be something with you’re printer.

[@kheddabouhacina7954]

Is good but never u switch on hairdryer near your mobile ie dangerous, i like your video🙋‍♀️💕

[@jennifer742011]

How much do you sell these for??

[@narin5784]

Does the printer have to be an inkjet printer?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Narin Khamo Yes that is what I used.

[@monieandrews9431]

Hi what size candle are you using

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Monie Andrews I don’t remember the exact sizes, you can pretty much use whatever size candles you want. The two largest candles with the Gucci logo I purchased at Micheal’s and I know those were at least 8- 8.8 inches tall. The rest of them were smaller than that and I got those from Hobby Lobby in their scented candle section. Once you have the candles in front of you it’s easier to decide which ones you would think would look best with what logo.

[@luberta3480]

Also is it legal to sell?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Luberta Prude Selling anything with a copy written or licensed logo is illegal. Although people still do anyway you could risk getting in some kind of trouble.

[@denishawingfield2435]

What type of printer do you have?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Denisha Wingfield It’s an hp Ink jet

[@denishawingfield2435]

Danielle INC i May have to find you for more info IG. I want to order one.

[@Trekking-with-Justin]

can u still light them after blonde question lol

[@FinnMiaBelle]

This may sound like a stupid question, but wouldn’t it be easier to just paint the logo on with spray paint and a stencil?

[@irmafisher9676]

Hi, I loved your video. What size are those candles?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Irma Fisher Hello Thank you for watching! Honestly I have no idea what size they are. Saving the packaging and telling you guys the size was the one thing I forgot to do. You can really use whatever size candles you like though. I did get the tall ones from Micheals and it was a two pack. The other three I believe came from Hobby Lobby. Once you see them in person it’s easy to get an idea of which ones would work the best.

[@irmafisher9676]

Ok thanks!!

[@chotharhtaik]

Can i know the measurement of the candle please? is it 5cm(diameter) x 20 cm(height) since i'm indecisive of what size should i choose.Thank you

[@IamChristianDanielle]

Lex Six Victory Hello Dear, I actually don’t even remember the cm of the candles. You can pretty much use which ever ones that you feel will give you the best look that you are going for. I randomly just went into the store and chose the candle that exact way, by what I thought would look good.

[@Alisha2401]

Hi, can i use a laser printer for this project?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

I’m not sure if a laser printer would work or not I have never owned one. Although to me it sounds like something that my not work.

[@scampbell1119]

I tried this but my logos came out an ashy black not glossy black . What did I do wrong ?

[@IamChristianDanielle]

scampbell1119 It could be the type of ink in the printer. Mine are dark but not a super dark black. They are slightly grainy but not in a bad way. If your printer has the option you could try changing your settings to print extra heavy or even try double printing it to make it extra dark. The only thing about double printing you would have to make sure the paper is perfectly lined up.

Is your printer an ink jet printer or laser?

Can you burn these?

[@michellehall9467]

Luberta Prude this is what I want to know

[@IamChristianDanielle]

I personally have never burned them. They are more for decorative purposes then burning. I would just say if you do decide to burn it be careful and keep an eye on your candle once it begins to burn near the paper. Although I don’t think a burning candle emits as much heat as an oven (In an oven wax paper can cause a fire) you should still burn with caution.

[@ebby6285]

how do this burn and is there another way to melt the paper onto the candle btw i love your vid you def have a new subbie

[@IamChristianDanielle]

MsKitty Thank you for subscribing. I don’t know of any other way of melting the paper onto the candle. The blow dry is needed because you need to have the control of how the heat is distributed to the candle. The heat must be circulated properly in order to avoid melting the candle.

[@keamcknazt104]

What size ribbons did you use?
