Tissue Paper Candle

Tissue Paper Candle

In this project we show you how to emboss a candle using printed tissue paper. This project is great for gift baskets items, as it allows you to match your tissue paper for wrapping with the candle in your basket.

What you need

Tissue paper with an image on it (I used Victoria Secret Tissue paper, but you could just stamp an image)
Blank candle
Heating tool or blowdryer
Wax paper

Instructions

Step 1: Rip out a printed tissue paper image…

Step 2: Place the tissue image against the candle and tightly wrap wax paper around the candle.

Step 3: Turn on your heating tool and aim it at your tissue image. Watch the tissue seem to “melt away’… after a while you won’t see the tissue paper anymore (btw… taking this picture was awkward!)

Step 4: Remove wax paper
