How to make Decorative Candles

Supplies Needed:

Candles

Decorative Tissue Paper

Mod Podge 

Wax Paper

I buy them in  bulk at Ikea 20 candles for $7

Available at craft stores such as Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joann's.

*Remember use your coupons from your Sunday Paper:)

I searched online for this one but you can find them at craft stores and Party City too.

 Step 1.

 Cut the tissue paper where you want the design to show a couple inches smaller than the area of the candle so you can center it nicely on the candle. Once you do that wrap it around the candle leaving a half inch additional.

Step 2.

With your finger and liberally apply the Mod Podge all over the area of the candle you want to cover. They have tools but I found my finger worked the Best:)

Step 3.

 Take your piece of tissue paper and place it on the candle and smooth it down the candle with a finger that has mod podge on it work it around the candle and the back seams will slightly over lap buy with blend when dried.

 Step 4.

 Prop your candle  against an item at the top where there is not any mod podge and at the bottom with a smaller item to prevent it from moving to dry. Let dry for a couple hours-it will dry clear and smooth to the touch.

Now how easy was that?

You can get creative with colored candles for the holidays and use napkins instead of tissue paper-then I detach 2 layers from the knapinkin to get to the pattern it really looks nice almost painted on the candle.
