I've had this idea saved for awhile, and it occurs to me that summer might be a nice time to try it. This is not the same as what I have pictured at top; that one was made very simply with card stock cutouts and ribbon. As you will see, the project I'm linking to today does not involve an actual candle, but the flameless type which makes the procedure much safer.
This tutorial is from Diana at Dreams Factory: How to Put a Picture on a Candle.
The tutorial includes some beautiful printables to create candles for either Christmas
or Autumn.
Other than the printables, supplies needed include a printer (laser for best results); tissue paper (plus paper tape and card stock to use in the tissue paper printing process); scissors; wax paper; flameless battery-operated WAX candles (not plastic); and a hair dryer or heat gun.
After printing your design of choice on tissue paper following Diana's directions, you then proceed to apply it to the candle using wax paper and a heat gun or hair dryer. I won't go into detail here; you can read Diana's post for yourself and see just how it's done.
What do you think? Is this a technique you would attempt? The result is certainly beautiful!
