DIY Step by Step Tutorial - How To Make A Dust Cover for Candles

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I show you how to make your own dust covers for your concrete candles or candles in glass or tins!
These dust covers will work on any vessel shape and size - I show you how to measure and get the right size for your candle!
I use Canva to design my dust cover and then use Cricut's Print and Cut feature to print on my Brother Inkjet Printer and then have my Cricut Maker 3 cut out my dust covers! I use light weight cardstock but you can use any color or weight :)
All my supplies are listed below - let me know if you have any questions!

You were working at 24%, increase it to 100% to get the most accurate spacing and then just reduce it back to normal. Just wanted to give some AZ love.

    great tutorial but you missed a couple steps that would be very helpful to some. 1. normally on cricut design space, you have to choose "print then cut or cut image". How did you go straight from upload to the canvas with the printing on the dust cover. If I choose "cut image" it shows up as all black. If I choose print then cut, It acts like a sticker and wants me to print on my printer which Im not doing. 2. how did you get you wick hole to be a transparent hole? You went from black on canva, then on design space its a transparent hole. I cannot get that transparent hole and it would be nice to know how you did it. Thanks.
