I started making these back in the 80's, now I also use fabric with LED candles. 😉

How do you use lights?

The flower design is beautiful on the candle. I have never seen this done before.

Excellent , made it so easy for us beginners ,,,,so grateful to people like u who arent selfish to educate others,,,its yur way of leaving us wit yur own footprints

I like this method because there are so many napkin designs out there to use. For your candle's mistakes, an easy fix is to take a candle of the same color, hold it above the sides of your candle and drip the wax down the sides of the candle all around it and in front of your design. You can also pull colors from your design and add drips of those colors to the top. Another easy fix for the design is to hold textured fabric over the whole design, then use your heat gun to melt the texture into your picture, then remove it right away. This will leave a beautiful matte finish over your design and any mistakes won't be noticeable. If you've ever seen expensive professional photos printed with a finish over them similar to this you have an idea of what it will look like. This is a great technique to use over pictures even without mistakes! It gives them an interesting texture that differs from the rest of the candle. I use this method a lot when I make people candles that have country themed homes, for people who work with fabric, as well as when I make candles for a new baby. Many people use the baby shower candles as decorations. They don't want to burn them. So, let's say for a girl, I will put a picture that matches the baby's room, a baby, praying hands, and the name and birthday of the baby on the candle then embellish it with appropriate items to match. The possibilities are endless. Because you do so much mixed media you would excel at this. You only need to learn to melt wax onto the embellishments instead of using glue. 🙂

this sounds genius but can you do a tutorial video? Im quite green about this idea

Another beautiful idea for any season! Thank you Marta you’re are always inspirational! Hugs and love! ❤️ 💕

That was really amazing. I've never seen that technique been done before. It turned out beautiful, even with the little imperfections. This is a fabulous gift idea that I'm certainly going to try. Tfs.

Wow! Simple yet stunning! Thanks Marta!

That is absolutely gorgeous!!! I would love to try it. Thank you.

This is amazing! I used to actually carve the design onto the candle and then paint it! Craft I picked up while living in Colombia

Wow that is so beautiful love this and plan to try as need new candle for Christmas centerpiece

Wow I absolutely love this and I will give it a try!

I dread tutorials with a passion. Never watch tutorials but thanks so much for multitasking. This is so cool

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

💖I wondered how this would work, I thought they were decoupaged, but this way it is part of the candle! Thank you for showing the "opps" it helps in two ways 1. It shows there is always a learning curve 2. It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

Wowzer that is so beautiful, I actually have a candle making kit and moulds and may just try my hand at this. Thank you Marta

I just love this idea!!! The candle looks beautiful!

Wow! This is a stunning idea! I'm so impressed!!

wow! I didn't know that's how it was done. Looks beautiful!

It looks very pretty,thanks for sharing!

Absolutely lovely. I was touched that you were willing to share the little mistakes that are part of learning any craft. Like another lady here in the comments section, I saw this done with wax paper. A napkin wasn't used, but an inked up craft stamp on white tissue paper. If we are able to use our craft stamps, it gives us a lot of different options for design. So, wax paper or parchment, napkins and /or ink stamped tissue paper? Any experience anyone has on this gratefully received. Now I am going to subscribe!

Back to one of your older videos! :-) I didn't know this technique and definitely will try it out! Thank you for sharing the process and pointing out the little mistakes you made so we can try to do it beautifully ourselves! Have a nice week! Love from tiny Belgium xxx

Very helpful! Thanks for the tips.

Eine schöne Technik. Vielen Dank für das Teilen.👏😺😻👍🎄

thank you so much for sharing . i am very inspired by the technique.

Thank you for such amazing tutorials!

Looks very nice and well done. Thank you..can't wait to try again .x

I always wondered how they did that. Thanks Marta!

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this. I tried this once using a tutorial from the internet. The tutorial said to use waxed paper rather than parchment. It turned out OK but, of course, the waxed paper is bonded to the candle over the napkin and it does not look as lovely as yours. I will have to try making another candle using parchment paper. I used a hair dryer when making mine. Maybe it doesn't get as hot as the heat gun? I had no problems with melting the candle. Just be sure to keep the heat source moving over the candle.

Great tutorial! I always wondered how people decoupaged candles.

Simply gorgeous!!! I've never seen that technique before and always thought it too fiddly and messy to try. I absolutely hate fussy cutting especially with flimsy napkins, but this I will try for sure!!! Huge thanks and big hugs as always!

I have seen this done before but not with the parchment paper. Thank you for sharing. I want to do these for Christmas next year for my family.

💖I love this technique!!! It came out beautifully..I have been having the idea to decoupage candles..and now I can make them so lovely 💕💕thank you for sharing!

Brilliant I like your honesty it helps us so much while we are learning and making mistakes etc! Thank you for sharing honestly with us! Best wishes 🎅

That's cool watching the wax melt and seeing the color change of the napkin.

Beautiful and fab video thank you so much. I like that you were honest about imperfections as so many you tubers portray false perfection. Well done ✨Louise and Emily ❤

Its Beautiful thank you for the info and tips! Thank you very much for sharing!! Hugs Liz x

This is beautiful, Marta, will look beautiful on your Christmas table,,,,xxxxx🌲☃️🎄☃️🎄

To those who ask if the paper would burn, a candle this size melts, it doesn't burn, only the inner core, so highly doubt that it would catch fire.

Utterly beautiful!

So pretty! I also like that it's not perfect and looks handmade😉😀. Thank you!

Very pretty And thank you for the thorough explanations!

I have always wanted to try this but had no idea how to do it. I will give it a go. Thank you for your video.

In love it ! I've a lovely robin serviette I can use !!! Soooooooo loving all your wonderful Xmas ideas x😊🎄🎁🎄🎁

Fantastic, thanks for showing how to do this.

Love it Marta. On camera, the flower looks really dimensional - as if it is still living inside the candle and is blooming out of it. Stunning. Happy accident as Mr. Ross would say. Good girl yerself! Love the way you're not afraid to try OR record your first try. I can't even get to trying some things let alone record a thing!!

Love this. It was like watching magic happen as the napkin merged into the candle.

Beautiful!I love the napkin you used! I got to do this a couple times in home league! So much fun. Now that I have a heat gun I can do some at home! Thank you for sharing! God bless! Love hugs and prayers! O:-)

Beautiful imperfection. 😍

Beginners! Yay, thanks.

One lady said to use the oven. She was doing seashells. I got all the things needed, yay! You did great.

Love it!

So very pretty and a great ideatfs

Pretty design. I did something similar where I printed a design on tissue paper and used wax paper because that's how I had on a lil white candle. I used a hair dyer as well. It's tricky but I love it, so I'll never burn it. Nice to see another approach to making those :)

​@@dinekeketelaar9993 Hi there! I recall straightening out the tissue paper so its nice and smooth. Then I taped the corners to a blank white piece of paper as backing. Select the design and print. Depending on your printer, you might have to put face down or up. You kinda have to watch it to make sure it comes through, be gentle when peeling off. I also let it dry for a while just to make sure the image set. I found the idea on The Graphics Fairy site. I hope you have fun! :)

Lovely! Thank you.

Loved it 😍😍

Marta, have you ever made shadow box? I think it would be a very interesting idea for Christmas 🎄 🥰😀♥️

💝💝 I have seen those candles at botiques and craft fairs, but I never knew how they did this. Thank you for the tutorial. I love your candle, mistakes and all. Handmade art is not supposed to be perfect. 💝💝

Well done and I’m so glad You correctly said serviette and not napkin as many do a napkin is made of fabric people a serviette is made of paper !

Hey Maremi I was inspired to do your method and mine came out perfect, I used two methods a hair dryer and then a tea light candle with a spoon method both turned out really well. Thanx so much 💓👏🏼 - Hannah UK

When you say tea light candle and spoon method do you light the bottom of the spoon via the tea light and place it up there?

Just beautiful love learning with you hugs. Could you go over the happy accident to melt it?

Came out cute.

just be careful when burning the candle. Accidents has happened when the napkin caught fire when you burn the candle. Better to use transfer sheets designed for candles. But to just decoration this is amazingly beautiful 💙♥❤

This turned out so so pretty. I will definitely try. I have decoupaged on other things but, not the candles. I have 2 questions: do I need to put a primer before sticking the napkin? Will I be able to burn the candle or its just for show? Thanks so much for sharing.

look beautiful - you used a beautiful flower napkin - tfs patrizia

¡Precioso y muy bien explicado! Your English is very good. Say "Hi to Geño. :)

This is the best thing i discovered in crafting. Candles cost $30 a pop, now. I remember those Yankee candles were like $9 not so long ago

So lovely! Can u tell me what size candle you used?

Lovely result and excellent tutorial with a honest approach. I wonder how the napkin is affected when the candle burns? According to some comments the napkin can also burn, so perhaps using this technique only for decorative purposes? Thank you!
