The first thing you'll want to do is print your image on tissue paper. You can print it first on regular copy paper, then tape a piece of tissue paper (shiny side up!) and run it through your printer again, or just skip that step and print directly on the paper with tissue paper attached.
Then you'll want to color your image - don't be afraid to color on tissue paper! It's actually pretty durable if you don't push too hard. I used Prismacolor pencils for my candle, but you can use markers as well.
You'll then want to remove your image from the copy paper and trim the edges. I did a rough cut around mine so it wouldn't be just a block on the candle.
Next, lay the colored image on the candle where you'd like it to go. It will cling to your candle.
Grab a piece of freezer paper or parchment paper and wrap it around the candle, creating a handle with the excess in the back for you to hold onto while using the heat tool.
Slowly apply heat from your heat tool for a few seconds until the image is embedded in the candle. Remove the freezer paper and let it cool. You have now created your own custom candle.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy making your own candles!!!
