i was spending my friday night scrapbooking. then i was starting a new page and looking for paper and saw some vellum from my valentine/wedding stack. then i remembered the lil project i've been wanting to do all day! i was looking for graphics all day and just couldn't decide on a picture...so i used words instead!
once again from crafty, scrappy happy! it's so cool. if you look close you can tell there is vellum there...i need to figure out how to decorate the candle. or switch the wording. i just wanted to try it and see if it would work, and it sure does.
this is how you do: print off a picture [Graphics Fairy has some cool vintage lookin ones] or phrase whatever you want on lightweight vellum [she said at office max or some office supply store you can get a 50 pack for like $7...i bought 4 sheets at hobby lobby for 59 cents each, bleh...i'll have to remember that next time!]
then you put it on the candle. i was thinking the actual graphic would be stuck on the candle but nope, the whole thing of vellum.
then you wrap wax paper around it and blow dry for a few minutes...i figured i was done when i saw the candle melting:)
maybe if my candles weren't cream it wouldn't be so obvious. i'm glad i did it on those candles instead of my red ones:P
dude. try it. takes seriously like 5 minutes.
