DIY – Paper Napkin Transfer Candle

January 10, 2014 by Shellie Wilson

KerzenverzierenLebenslustiger22

Adding images from a paper napkin to a candle is an easy and fun way to create unique and personalized candles. With this technique, you can transfer any image or design from a paper napkin onto a candle and create a beautiful and embellished candle that is perfect for gift-giving or adding a romantic touch to any room.  see the tutorial here –this Candle Transfer Project.

 

To get started, you’ll need a few supplies:

A white pillar candle
A printed paper napkin with your desired design or image
Wax paper
A hairdryer
Scissors
A paintbrush
Mod Podge or other decoupage glue
Here’s how to create your own embellished transfer candle:

Cut out the image or design from your printed paper napkin. Make sure it is the right size to fit on your candle.

Place a sheet of wax paper on your work surface to protect it from glue and wax.

Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge or other decoupage glue to the area of the candle where you want to place the image.

Carefully place the image on the candle, making sure it is straight and centered. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with your fingers.

Use a paintbrush to apply a layer of Mod Podge or other decoupage glue over the top of the image. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the image and the surrounding area.

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to dry the Mod Podge or other decoupage glue. Be careful not to melt the candle wax.

Once the Mod Podge or other decoupage glue is dry, carefully peel away the wax paper. The image should be transferred onto the candle.

If necessary, use a paintbrush to touch up any areas where the image did not transfer completely.

Allow the candle to dry completely before using or displaying it.

By following these simple steps, you can create your own personalized and embellished transfer candles using printed paper napkins. Whether you’re giving them as gifts or using them to create a romantic atmosphere at home, these candles are sure to impress

DIY Shirt Extender – Sewing Pattern

I like having a little extra coverage when I wear leggings, but I could never find a cute top that was just the right length. So I decided to make this Easy Sew Shirt Extender! This is so simple to sew and is an easy sewing project for beginners. It is easy to layer under your shirt or top of choice and I added some lace trim to mine for a fancier look. You can mix and match colors and fabrics to suit your needs!
