I just thought of something: if you use a paper other than tissue or an adhesive material, you should probably see what happens if you burn it!  (If the paper turns really black, or the glue smells funny...) That's prob'ly why that scrapbook-y lady used tissue paper...unless, of course, your candles are purely decorative or really really thick pillars. Those tend to burn down the center (esp. if you "start" them at home first, out of any breezes) and leave a hollow shell.

I didn't know if there was a special process for the vellum, doesnt sound like it, so i'll get me some thing cheapy stuff! :) Thanks bee-ers! princesskittyHI on "making a candle wrap" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/making-a-candle-wrap#post-2477 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:06:36 +0000 princesskittyHI 2477@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ By the way...I re-read the instructions at the link I posted above, and she used tissue paper to print the words/art on.  She includes a warning that that could damage your printer. I'd go w/ what Melanie said and use vellum -- there are some really light weight ones out there; they're not all super sturdy. I accidentally ended up w/ the lightweight type -- it was a generic, cheap brand, so maybe that was part of the reason it was so thin. In case you don't want to bother to click the link, the process is, basically, to print on the tissue/vellum, and adhere that to the candle using a heat gun and wax paper.  aoedorothee on "making a candle wrap" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/making-a-candle-wrap#post-2465 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:02:24 +0000 aoedorothee 2465@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ or you can use full sheets of adhesive labels.  they're sold right next to the regular sized mailing, return address labels.  you can just set it up in a text box in ms word, cut it out and then affix it to your candle.  good lcuk! princesskittyHI on "making a candle wrap" http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/making-a-candle-wrap#post-2440 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:48:41 +0000 princesskittyHI 2440@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ Hi PhxBride!  I commented in one of Miss Daffodil's posts about a site I found that shows you how to put your own designs on candles.  Looks pretty simple, as long as you have all the "stuff" and a whole bunch of patience! <a href="http://www.scrapgirls.com/Chit_Chat_070816_Thurs_Real.htm">http://www.scrapgirls.com/Chit_Chat_070816_Thurs_Real.htm</a> This is from a scrapbooking newsletter; you’ll need to scroll down about at least halfway to find the right part. It’s called “Way Cool Stuff Product Review: Embellishments.” If it works, I'd love to hear about it...especially the part about how long it takes!

Might be a dumb question, but is there a simple process for this? Any certain way to do it? Thanks! <a href="http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=missynplt">http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/page.aspx?username=missynplt</a>
