How To Make An Encanto Candle

May 20, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

The Disney animated musical, Encanto, has taken the world by storm with its captivating storyline, colorful characters, and catchy soundtrack. The movie’s popularity has inspired many to create Encanto-themed crafts and decorations. If you’re an Encanto fan looking to add a touch of magic to your home or party, this candle-making tutorial is just what you need.

Using a store-bought pillar candle and free SVG cut files, this tutorial shows you how to transform an ordinary candle into a beautiful and fun Encanto candle. The cut files make it easy to create multiple candles for party favors or to use as decorations. The finished candles are sure to be a hit with Encanto fans of all ages.

If you don’t have a cutting machine, don’t worry – you can still create these candles by printing the image onto paper and using the transfer method described in this article. The transfer process is easy to follow and will allow you to personalize your candles with any image you like.

Making your own Encanto candles is a fun and creative way to celebrate your love for the movie and add some Disney magic to your home or party. Whether you’re a seasoned candle maker or a beginner, this tutorial is a great place to start. So, gather your supplies and let’s get crafting!

If you are making these for young children, I highly recommend using battery candles for safety.
