I needed another present for my daughter and my son's girl friend and decided to try these candles. I think they turned out great!
I bought the candles at Wal-Mart, opened the photos I wanted in Word, changed them to grey scale and printed on white tissue paper. I then trimmed them, laid them on the candle and used my heat tool to 'melt' the photos into the candle. I added a piece of black satin ribbon and a build a brad. The girls loved them! This particular one was for my son's girl friend Megan.

Iron a piece of tissue paper and then tape it to a piece a cardstock. (Cut the tissue paper a bit smaller than the cardstock) Tape at each corner and at the sides. This allows the paper to go through the printer without any problems.
