She Takes A Napkin And An Iron And Creates Amazing Candles

August 4, 2015 by Shellie Wilson

How to Decorate Candles With Paper Napkins

There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of completing a DIY craft project quickly and easily. And when that project is also practical and beautiful, it’s even better! If you’re a candle lover looking for a new project to try, look no further than this video tutorial that shows you how to make unique and beautiful candles using just a few simple supplies. With some napkins and an iron, you can create stunning candles that are perfect for gifting or just adding a touch of elegance to your home decor.

One of the great things about this project is how easy it is to do. With just a few basic steps, you can transform plain candles into works of art. First, choose some colorful or patterned napkins that you love. Cut out the design you want to use and place it on the candle, securing it in place with a piece of wax paper. Then, use your iron to press the design onto the candle, melting the wax just enough to adhere the napkin to the surface. After peeling away the wax paper, you’ll be left with a stunning candle that looks like it was custom-made just for you.

This DIY candle project is not only easy, but also affordable. You can easily find napkins in a variety of colors and patterns to suit your taste, and you probably already have an iron and some plain candles lying around the house. With just a little bit of time and effort, you can create a unique and beautiful candle that will make a perfect gift for any occasion.

One thing to keep in mind is that the iron may leave some residue on your napkins, so you’ll want to use ones that you don’t mind getting a little bit messy. And, as the intro notes, you’ll want to avoid using the iron on your clothes again to prevent any wax transfer.

This video tutorial is a great resource for anyone looking to try a fun and easy DIY project that results in beautiful and unique candles. With just a few simple supplies and some creativity, you can create candles that are perfect for decorating your home or giving as gifts. So why not give it a try and see what beautiful designs you can come up with?

Hubcap Creatures: Transforming Roadside Finds into Sculptural Wildlife

Hubcap Creatures is the creative project of British sculptor Ptolemy Elrington, who has transformed discarded hubcaps into captivating sculptures of wildlife. Operating from Brighton, Elrington has been crafting these unique pieces since the late 1990s, turning everyday automotive debris into stunning representations of animals from the natural world.

The artistic process behind Elrington’s sculptures is centered around recycling and upcycling. The hubcaps he uses are typically found on the side of the road and often show signs of wear, including scratches and dents. Elrington believes that these imperfections add character and depth to his creatures, making each piece truly one of a kind.

His work spans a wide range of animals, including foxes, fish, and birds, with each sculpture thoughtfully crafted to showcase the unique features of the materials. The brand logos, grooves, and markings found on the hubcaps often contribute to the creature’s expression and structure, giving them a distinct, textured look.

Elrington’s Hubcap Creatures have been showcased in various exhibitions, both in the UK and internationally. His innovative approach has gained recognition for its creativity and environmental awareness, demonstrating how discarded materials can be transformed into meaningful art.

For art enthusiasts or collectors, Elrington offers a mix of available sculptures and custom commissions, allowing individuals to bring home a piece of this upcycled art. Hubcap Creatures stands as a brilliant example of how creativity can breathe new life into the most unlikely of materials, all while promoting sustainability.
