Fantastic idea for gifting something unique. i found too many questions here in comments after seeing this video and i would like to answer for those questions and confusions. Q.1) What kind of a tissue paper we should use? Ans.) Tissue paper also called Butter paper which has a mild wax finish on one side and other side is crispy. it also known as tracing paper. Q.2) Do we need to remove tissue paper after heating process? Ans.) No. Q3.) Do we need to heat the whole candle or just the design area? Ans.) Yes, the entire candle. Q.4) What kind of a hot air blower we need to use? Ans.) If u have a temperature setting blower then grt else u can use normal hair dryer but make sure u keep at least 5 CM of distance from the candle in entire process. hhhhhhh...now i am tired. ;) , keep on sharing such a wonderful ideas to the world.
Hey guys be careful when doing this, after the wax layer melts off the tissue paper, the tissue paper can catch fire and mine DID! These type of candles should not be burned they should be decorative only.
Hello, Ms. Heidi Swapp- Please keep this video up for a while longer. I am DIY-ing my wedding reception centerpieces, and your video tutorial has given me such inspiration and help. Sadly, I don't have much of a crafty/visually artistic bone in my body, but your video is giving me more help than you can know. Hence, thank you so much for your talents and sharing them with us. :)
One thing you could do if you're worried about it is to hollow out the very top of the candle in order to place a small tealight in the top and just replace the tealight as needed. Then you would never have to burn the actual decorative candle.
You're welcome. I'm glad that worked out. I just watched a vid where they stamped the image onto the tissue paper; probably a better method for those who don't have access to a printer. She also cut carefully around the image instead of adhering the entire piece of tissue paper to the candle; that seems easier & more economical than the technique in this vid if you were making a lot of candles. I would still hollow out the top for a tea light--for safety & to preserve the original candle.
As she said in the beginning, it's better to use candles of neutral color although you could experiment with other colors if you like. Though, I think it would look nicer and less tacky if you use neutral ones.
This is so amazing I wanted to make a candle for my baby candlelight service. . So how would I add bling to the candle's . Can I use hot glue when making these candles with the paper ? I was going to pay fourty dollars for one candle .Im so glad you made this video . Please if you have any othere tip's on this would you let me know . Her service is in 11 day's . So I need to get going on what Im going to do . My idea was to add these pink flowers on the candle like wrapped around it .
Waxed paper like you're talking about probably won't work, as it seems like the point of using tissue paper is so that the wax will come through it (tissue paper is porous). Tissue paper is the stuff they put into gift bags and boxes to line them before putting the gift inside. You can find it near the gift-wrapping paper almost anywhere, like discount stores, groceries, craft stores, and dollar stores. It comes in a wide variety of colors.
The ink itself isn't supposed to actually transfer onto the candle. The point is to adhere the paper to the candle. Make sure you're using tissue paper and not something else so that the wax comes through the paper. Are you using a heat gun? If not, then you might not be getting the candle hot enough to start melting the wax in order for the paper to stick--standard hair dryers don't usually get hot enough.
NO the tissues pretty much melts on too the candle so when you light it up you don't have to worry about the paper because it becomes part of the candle in other words
how is this lame? It is a simple idea with a very low price tag that gives amazing results. I can tell you right now that this is not going to be lame when I make my own designs and sell them at the flea.
You can light these candles although would suggest you put it in a candle holder, that fully encloses candle , before doing so as paper can catch fire. Always keep eye on candle when lit. Do not leave it unattended.
Hi thankyou for sharing, ive tried it with the heat gun, I think mine is to powerful as no matter how far away I put it it still melted the candle, so I have ordered a craft one,this should then solve my problems ,I hope
What type of tissue paper are you using? I went to the craft store and the lady told me to use the kind you wrap gifts. I did a candle and it did not do well. I have bubbles and the tissue paper didn't seem to melt evenly. Any suggestions?
What kind of paper? Tissue? can use printer to print the pattern I want? If it is wrapping paper, can you tell us more about the paper texture. Thanks!
Does the colour of the tissue paper change the colour of the candle? (if you used white tissue paper on a purple candle would it make the candle more pale?)
Heidiswapp you should have removed the tissue paper to show the final product.. Also, what heating tool are you using? a hair dryer? Please answer these questions. ty
VixCrafts can you use just decorated tissue paper for all the way around the candle because I dare not use the printer. But I love Emma Bridgewater patterns could I just use a piece of her decorated tissue paper to do this effect. x
Do I take the tissue paper off when. The ink has been transfered off to the candle? Also, what kinda of tissue paper are you refferjng to? Craft tissues are probably going to catch on fire. Also, is wax pepper permit able? Please respond. Thankk you!!
Thanks. Also do I remove the tissue paper after? I know u dint mention it in the video but I m going to be using the blow dryer for the tissue papper so, i am unsure about how long nd hard it will stick to the candle
Sonia Bhargav no the candle wax will melt so it comes through the paper and than the tissue paper is "part" of the candle. So you don't need to take it off…
No you can't a hair dryer isn't hot enough you need a heating tool if you have a local hobby lobby they are 24$ but you can use their coupons and get it half that price or Micheal's has them too and you can also use a coupon and if you have a competitors coupon for more % off they take other stores coupons
Hi thanks for replying :) Unfortunately i live in Ireland so dont have a hobby lobby :( (sounds like heaven tho lol) Craft stores over here are ridiculously expensive compared to USA :( booo lol
Just a word to those that maybe having the same problem that i have trying to run the tissue paper attached to the printer paper through my printer tried several different time but just keeps getting jammed in the printed so i adopted an alternative, find some shinny paper such as that that comes off of self adhesive vinyl print your image on the shiny side then transfer that to the tissue paper it comes right off beautifully
