stamped candle

Todays project is a quick simple one. I stamped my images onto cheap white tissue paper *the kind you get for stuffing gift bags* using Jet Black Archival Ink. Then I trimmed around the edges. *didn't bother with perfection, just cut roughly around it* Then, I placed my image on the candle and covered with wax paper. I gently heated with a heat gun until I could see the tissue paper melting into the candle. *No, I didn't come up with this technique... you can find it on the web and youtube*

This is a great way to make cheap pillar candles match your decor. They also work great as gifts.

From what I have read, you can burn these candles... just be careful and keep an eye on it. The paper can be peeled off if need be. Some candles basically burn a well right around the wick so the paper would not be affected at all.
