Decorating Candles

 


Today i am posting some pictures of some candles i have decorated for gifts using Water based ink jet transfer paper.

I made these quite a few months ago and also some at christmas for gifts (before i started the blog so i have no pictures for a detailed tuturiol).

Basically these sheets of transfer paper are available at most craft stores.

I designed the pictures i wanted and also took some photo's which i had on my computer and printed them out onto the transfer sheet ( print on good quality photo setting).
Allow the ink to dry and then spray with some clear acrylic sealer.
Again wait for the sealer to dry.
Cut your image out, place in tepid water until the image comes away from the backing paper and apply to the candle. Rub it on carefully to remove any air bubbles and excess water (they can be quite fragile so rub gently).
