💖I wondered how this would work, I thought they were decoupaged, but this way it is part of the candle! Thank you for showing the "opps" it helps in two ways 1. It shows there is always a learning curve 2. It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this. I tried this once using a tutorial from the internet. The tutorial said to use waxed paper rather than parchment. It turned out OK but, of course, the waxed paper is bonded to the candle over the napkin and it does not look as lovely as yours. I will have to try making another candle using parchment paper. I used a hair dryer when making mine. Maybe it doesn't get as hot as the heat gun? I had no problems with melting the candle. Just be sure to keep the heat source moving over the candle.
@sadaann173 жыл бұрын
I like this method because there are so many napkin designs out there to use. For your candle's mistakes, an easy fix is to take a candle of the same color, hold it above the sides of your candle and drip the wax down the sides of the candle all around it and in front of your design. You can also pull colors from your design and add drips of those colors to the top. Another easy fix for the design is to hold textured fabric over the whole design, then use your heat gun to melt the texture into your picture, then remove it right away. This will leave a beautiful matte finish over your design and any mistakes won't be noticeable. If you've ever seen expensive professional photos printed with a finish over them similar to this you have an idea of what it will look like. This is a great technique to use over pictures even without mistakes! It gives them an interesting texture that differs from the rest of the candle. I use this method a lot when I make people candles that have country themed homes, for people who work with fabric, as well as when I make candles for a new baby. Many people use the baby shower candles as decorations. They don't want to burn them. So, let's say for a girl, I will put a picture that matches the baby's room, a baby, praying hands, and the name and birthday of the baby on the candle then embellish it with appropriate items to match. The possibilities are endless. Because you do so much mixed media you would excel at this. You only need to learn to melt wax onto the embellishments instead of using glue. 🙂

Absolutely lovely. I was touched that you were willing to share the little mistakes that are part of learning any craft. Like another lady here in the comments section, I saw this done with wax paper. A napkin wasn't used, but an inked up craft stamp on white tissue paper. If we are able to use our craft stamps, it gives us a lot of different options for design. So, wax paper or parchment, napkins and /or ink stamped tissue paper? Any experience anyone has on this gratefully received. Now I am going to subscribe!

Pretty design. I did something similar where I printed a design on tissue paper and used wax paper because that's how I had on a lil white candle. I used a hair dyer as well. It's tricky but I love it, so I'll never burn it. Nice to see another approach to making those :)

@Austral132 жыл бұрын
@@dinekeketelaar9993 Hi there! I recall straightening out the tissue paper so its nice and smooth. Then I taped the corners to a blank white piece of paper as backing. Select the design and print. Depending on your printer, you might have to put face down or up. You kinda have to watch it to make sure it comes through, be gentle when peeling off. I also let it dry for a while just to make sure the image set. I found the idea on The Graphics Fairy site. I hope you have fun! :)

To those who ask if the paper would burn, a candle this size melts, it doesn't burn, only the inner core, so highly doubt that it would catch fire.
