This is an amazingly quick and efficient process. I love it!! Thanks for sharing.

You just reminded me... we can do this for Christmas stamped candles ... you do the same thing, just stamp on tissue paper with your favorite SU stamp. Also, you can use Dollar tree candles that have the light in them. They are wax covered, but you have to be very careful to not over heat. Thank you for sharing.. this is easy, not too expensive and nice little stocking stuffers.

Beautiful!!! Wondering….Can I just use a hairdryer as I don’t have craft heat tool ?

@JaneAllmarkAmethystarcrafting

3 жыл бұрын

I have never tried a hair dryer. The heat tool melts the wax of the candle very quickly & keeps it pitting or melting into holes. I think a hairdryer may not be hot enough or give an even melt. Worth a try though. I would use a cheap candle that you don’t mind wasting x

Oh Jane, I adore this idea. I am wondering if greaseproof paper is the same as what we call parchment paper here in the U.S., I don't think I've ever seen anything labeled greaseproof. Your little bird images are stunning and I think I'm going to make some of these for Christmas gifts for the girls in my husbands office. Thank you so much for once again inspiring me to create outside of my normal box. Have a lovely day.

@JaneAllmarkAmethystarcrafting

Yes I believe parchment is the same, try doing a small candle to get the hang of it first, as need paper tight & not let heat gun rest on one spot for too long or can melt unevenly. Make great presents x

I love this video. You made the steps so much easier and clearer than other videos I've seen. A couple questions for you- I love the look of white and cream colored candles, however some napkins have a darker background that will be used on candles. What do you suggest for choosing a candle color for darker backgrounds? Do they work just as well on the white candles? Also, were you using paraffin wax candles? Does this work just as well on soy candles?

@JaneAllmarkAmethystarcrafting

Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comments. I always use white or cream even with dark napkins as when melt the candle the napkin gets covered with a thin layer so the clearer the better. Can use soy or paraffin or bees wax as long as melt evenly so don't get holes. I use IKEA candles as cheap but good quality. Hope that helps x

Thank you for your response. I'm having one more issue in hoping you can help me with. I've tried two different heat guns but they both melt the candles too quickly. What wattage and temp do you have on your heat gun. 395*F seems to be too hot no matter how I hold the heat gun. You are a pro! Thank you!

Jane, that's adorable!! Is parchment paper, used in baking, the same as "grease- proof" paper; or perhaps it's "waxed paper" here in the US?

I would doubt it, unless it was very thin. Tissue paper is very thin so melts into the candle & becomes invisible apart from the coloured image x

Linda Avinou . It will work on any solid candle, perfumed or not. Be careful if the candle is colour coated with a different colour core as the outer surface of the candle melts with this technique so the coloured coating will melt exposing different coloured core. X

Couple of ideas. Make sure the paper is pulled tightly across the candle before heating & heat minimally. As soon as you see the wax starting to melt through tight paper move on. Hope that helps x. Thank you my top fan 😘

I think you have to be a little cautious if burning & not leave unattended, depending on quality of the candle will depend on burning. I have never had a problem although most I keep as decorations & havnt burned x

I’m not sure as have never seen or used wax paper. Parchment paper or grease proof paper is what I use. You can always try wax paper on a small candle to see. What you want to achieve is a tight seal which will give a smooth finish after you have removed paper. Good luck x

The melting wax of the candle does the trick, so It won't work on anything that does not have wax in it. For glass I would look into etching, engraving pen and glass painting. For would you could also look into engraving pens and wood burning.

Sorry you didn’t find this safe. If you make sure you only have one layer of napkin or tissue paper, which is very light you should have an issue in burning the candle. With all candles or naked flames they should never be left unattended. I have been burning mine for years with no problems x
