DIY Personalized Candle ....Easy to make Christmas Present


These are our Christmas Presents to " The Grandma's..."
They could be for anyone, Valentine's Day, Teachers, Friends, Mother's Day....
Easy and Fun to make:
Supplies needed:
Candle
Wax Paper
Markers
Tape
Scissors
Tissue paper (like you wrap presents in)
Plain paper
Tape
Blow Dryer
Tape tissue paper to plain paper (you need the paper under the tissue paper so the markers won't bleed through and ruin your counter!) 
Draw....Anything...be creative!!!!

now remove the tissue paper from plain peer, and cut around your design...cut as close as possible to your design


Now, take your design and place on candle. Take a piece of wax paper and wrap around your art work, hold the wax paper tight, then use  your blow dryer to melt the wax from the wax paper to cover your design, to help it stick to the candle! Keep the blow dryer moving back and forth, gently melt the design to your candle. (Be careful, the blow dryer gets hot, and it's hard to hold your candle!
Ta Da....Here are our special presents....
Made with Love!
