IACW girls are delighted to welcome Jessie onto the team. She's almost 14, and brimming with inspiration. Here's her first post for us, a fabulous well explained tutorial.
I started with a plain cream pillar candle and decorated it using a stamped image on clear tissue paper, a heat gun, and gems.
1. Choose candle.
2. Stamp onto the tissue paper in a coloured ink of your choice and cut around the image.
3. Hold the tissue paper image onto the candle and heat gently with the heat gun until attached but keep moving the heat gun around the image to stop one area from becoming mis-shapen.
4. Leave to cool and decorate in any way you choose. (Ink, gems, glitter, buttons etc.)
Here is the finished candle that I made. I decorated mine with gems and adhesive coloured dots.
I also made a matching tag which I coloured with promarkers and added gems to again.
This is an ideal Birthday / Christmas present or as a gift.
