Stamping on Candles

[JustStarting2Stamp]

Okay, so I was looking at the gallery at all of the stamped candles. (which are all gorgeous by the way). I love candles so much and I want to try this.

When I was looking, I found a candle by amyb66 and it had a PICTURE on the candle (here it is: stampin on candle by amyb66 at Splitcoaststampers ) It is beautiful and my daughter will be 2 this month and I would LOVE to make one to burn at her birthday party.

Does anyone know how Amy got the picture on the candle??
Heeeelllpppp!

Thanks in advance....

That is so cute that now I want to make one. So I went hunting for the technique and this is what I found. HTH!

I believe that she printed the picture on tissue paper from her computer and then heat set it onto the candle with a heat tool.

HTH:p

you would need to print the picture on tissue paper - best way to do this is to print it out on a piece of printer paper and then using some form of double stick tape tape down a piece of tissue OVER the image and sned it through your printer again...

then just follow the directions that are in Stamping on candles tutorial in the resource section

I just taped a piece of tissue paper on printer paper using regular Scotch tape. I ran that through the printer one time. Make sure there are no creases in the tissue so it won't catch as it's printing. You need a while for it to dry thoroughly before you adhere it to your candle.

I have tried this a couple of times and it didn't work for me. the tissue paper was so thin. Might try again
