Directions

  1. Use an inkjet printer, ink pad, or stamps to put your selected pictures onto tissue paper.
  2. Trim a piece of tissue paper to match a standard sheet of printer paper, then affix it to the printer paper using a small dot of glue at each corner.
  3. Load the two sheets together into your printer and print as usual.
  4. Carefully cut around the printed designs, staying close to their edges.
  5. Attach the cut-out images to the front of your candles by applying heat from a hairdryer.
  6. Quickly add a tiny bit of glue stick to keep the image from blowing away in the warm airflow before it fully melts into the wax.
