Wow! Thank you! I've been looking for a way to make a Christ candle for Advent. This worked PERFECTLY the first time! I found an image off of the Internet. Printed it to the right size onto the tissue paper on my laser printer. Wrapped it in parchment paper and got the hair dryer out. I cannot believe how easy this was. I probably saved myself $50.
awesome Jason! gotta love it when things turn out great like this!! that's why i shared this, bc we spent the $50 on a candle and ever since i've been doing my own! cheers Donna
This is SUCH a wonderful gift idea!!! I just made my boyfriend a few candles for our one year anniversary and it only costed me around 10$! If you’re in the US, the greaseproof wax paper she used is sold here but called parchment paper instead! I was hesitant using my printer on tissue paper but it worked wonderfully! The wax didn’t melt when I adhered the photo trace on either. So glad I found this video :) 10/10 would definitely recommend
!! hi Riley !! your boyfriend would have loved the candles you made him. they're so much more special when you can personalize them. AND thank you so much for your lovely comment, I appreciate it very much, you've made my day cheers Donna
Thank you. Worked great. I used a heat gun. It only takes a moment for the image to print onto them. It rapidly heats up and enough to melt the candle so anyone else using one remember that.
Hi! Just wanted to say a bigggg thankyou, i made my 1st candles today and they turned out amazing , i m over the moon right now, the only thing i was not doing right was that i didnt fully cut the tissue paper and i was peeling that off 2 , i thought ink just gonna melt into the candle in actual i wasnt supposed to peel the tissue at all🙈 and 2ndly i just want to let everyone know that i have got a pad of A4 tracing papers from poundland and i directly printed on it, no need to attach onto normal paper sheet. Thanku again
!! hi A2zyumm Cakes !! well you had a fun time lol, glad you stuck with it. can you tell me if you actually ended up directly printing onto tracing paper and then fusing that onto the candle? and not using the tissue paper at all 🦋 cheers Donna
oh wow. I did it and I can't wait to give it to my daughter. I did it on one of those little battery operated candles from the dollar store in beige..how cute!
!! hi 2626firefly !! I love this too! the different pics will look awesome, so personal feel free to show what you make over on my facebook page ArtCraftCrazy cheers Donna
For people who are in America the paper that she put over the picture is gift wrapping paper and the paper that she put over the picture while melting the candle is parchment paper fyi you welcome!!!!
Thank you so much!!! Everything worked just as described. From the printer to the blow drying. I'm giving these as gifts and the recipients are going to love them. I am so glad I found your video. I am clicking on subscribe right now!!😀😀😀😀
Great idea, looks lovely. My one tip would be do not cut to close to photo then use water and thin paint brush and draw round the photo with the water, then pull away with you fingers, it will leave fibers hanging which will blend the photo into the candle with no harsh lines around your photo. Thanks for sharing your video looks lovely
this is sooooooooo AWSOM!!! But I do have a question is grease paper the only thing you can use or can you use wax paper or are they considered the same HELP!!! I want to do this
thanks a lot, im sorry for the late reply youtube have now a new system where they show all the comments un responded to, you should see them all wowza!! YT have been naughty hiding my comments!! 🦋 cheers Donna
!! Hi Anita !! thanks for the compliment :-) perfect for a personalized wedding gift, pop over to my facey page and share after your friends have received your gift if you want to share facebook.com/ArtCraftCrazy cheers Donna
Does having the tissue paper on the candle affect how the candle burns? Like, would you still be able to burn the candle all the way down to the bottom?
!! hi Charlene !! The candle will burn fine because the paper is on the out side of the candle and not near the flame. also the tissue paper is 17gm which is very thin. The picture i used is not wrapped all the way around, it is a cut out close to the outline of the subject, so the tissue paper will melt down with the folds of wax. The flame remains in the center of the candle and at no time is near the outside edge of the candle (under normal circumstances) cheers Donna
TᕼᗩᑎKᔕ ᗩ ᒪOT Shaaz hope you get to try it, it does work and looks great, i still have mine after all these years since i've made the video :-) 🦋 cheers Donna
What window of time if any, do you need to do the transfer? Eg can I print pictures off at the library drive home and do it, or does it need to be done with a min of printing them?
!! hi Sacha !! just long enough to only very slightly melt the wax, the hot wax will act as a glue to hold the tissue paper on and the wax paper over the top holds the tissue paper flat onto the candle. cheers Donna
!! hi Lisa !! and thank you, perfect for christmas gift and a newborn, congratulations!! the candle will look adorable with a little one's picture on it, so special, cheers Donna
!! hi Ranath !! the tissue paper is so fine it wrinkles up and folds down with the wax as it melts. it doesn't burn because the wick is in the center of the candle. i don't burn my candles because i keep them for keepsakes and decor in my room. cheers Donna
Hello, i have a question. What's the difference between printing on regular paper versus printing on tissue paper and transfering it on the candle? which has a more professional finish look?
!! hi Ola El Chihni !! the difference is...the normal paper will not disappear into the wax, you will see it because it is heavier/thicker paper. The tissue paper is very light you can see through it when you hold it up, so when you print on it and heat/fuse it to the candle it disappears into the wax making it look like there is no edge. it makes it look like you printed directly onto the candle. definitely the tissue paper more pro finish !! 🦋 cheers Donna
hi, its awesome, im only confused that is it normal face tissue paper which we use to wipe face hands etc. or transfer/tracing paper use for drawing ?Thanks, love ya :) !♥
!! Happy To Help You !! Firstly thanks for your compliment. It's neither of these two, it's tissue paper like you wrap gifts with, it's very fine 17GSM paper, hope you can find some cheers Donna
hi, thanks bunches , ya got it. it's kinda crispier & use in m anythings... thanks for clearing my doubt . Cheers & hope to watch more videos like this.... ya great :)
When you lay the tissue paper onto the candle....do you face the printed side towards the candle, or does it face towards you? I hope that makes sense.
thanks for the tip Michelle i only have a towel, it got the job done and i've done a few It's always harder trying to do it under a camera thanks for tuning in and happy crafting 🦋 cheers Donna
On some video using the same tehcnique, someone said that the tissue paper would catch fire, that it was dangerous... that it can only be used as decoration and not be burnt... is that true ? Have you tried ??
!! hi Anna !! firstly you should always burn candles under supervision, it is good advice to offer caution. The tissue paper has been used on the outside of the candle in a small amount and the candle burns from the center at the wick. I have used my candles for decor and I have burnt them only for demonstration and only when i'm in the room, cheers Donna
!! hey Josh !! if the parchment paper you are asking about is non stick, yes you can because you need the top sheet that wraps around the the candle to be non-stick, it's also known as baking paper, cheers Donna
!! hi Jovie !! in Australia we only call it tissue paper, i don't know of any other name. In the video i show you the package and it's 17gsm which is a very light paper that if you put your hand behind it you will see it through the paper 🦋 cheers Donna
When I printed the photo I chose to print smudge the dark area was blotty and I could see that the ink from my ink jet printer ran. Will spraying the tissue before printing with a spray fixative affect the placing of the photo on the candle, or what would you suggest
Hey Neal have alook at tour paper to see ifs theres a shiny side and a matt side. Print on the matt side and dont select photo qaulity try standard print so it doesnt push as much ink out to the paper. Set it to the side and dont touch it for an hour or more if needed to totally dry. I know nothing about fixatives cheers Donna
!! hi Michelle !! i'm sure you could, the reason I use white is because the edges dissapear into the candle wax when it is fused/heated with the hairdryer, cheers Donna
if you wrap the whole candle in tissue paper, or it will fold down as the wax melts. the wax melts as usual and the paper could stay upright? i only burn the candle if im in the room and the flame stays to the inside of the wax it never goes near the outside edge, but to be sgfe always supervise
With candles like these, I drill out the top of it to make a hole for dropping in a tea light/candle. That way I can just keep burning and replacing tea candles and have these specially modified, large candles ones for a very long time. I use a spade bit in a drill to carve out a hole for the tea candle.
!! Hi Tiffany !! it's up to you, i havent burnt my candles because i keep them for decor only. If you burn your candles its always advised that you burn under supervision at all times. and just know that the flame is only on the wick in the middle of the candle, the flame doesnt go near the outer edge of the candle, the tissue paper is so thin it should just fold away and melt with the wax. just watch it if you decide to burn your's i cant say you can or you cant because i havent, Cheers Donna
hello Dr S. can you tell me if the picture comes off the tissue paper after it's printed or off the candle when you fuse the tissue paper to the candle? If it comes off the candle after you have melted the wax, start over, put the tissue paper in place hold the non stick cooking paper tightly over top and heat the wax again, holding the paper tightly will press (fuse) the paper into the candle, if you dont heat it enough it will not fuse if you heat it too much the wax will bubble and drip, you need the goldilocks heat just right. If its the printer you need to use an inkjet and print the tissue paper on the mat side not the shiny side 🦋 hugs Donna
!! hi Andrea !! probablly not because parchment paper is used for cooking and is non stick. you neeed to use tissue paper so it is held/fused into the wax when it gets hot 🦋 cheers Donna
hi Momnah did you use an inkjet printer and a tip is to print on the matte side there's a matte and a shiny side. once you print leave to dry it might takes a long time :-) cheers Donna

what happens when you use the whole candle? does the picture burn?
if you wrap the whole candle in tissue paper, or it will fold down as the wax melts. the wax melts as usual and the paper could stay upright? i only burn the candle if im in the room and the flame stays to the inside of the wax it never goes near the outside edge, but to be sgfe always supervise

Thank you for sharing this, I’m going to make some!
you'll love it Robin, have fun ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
I tried this method but once the picture dries it comes off...dont know what I am doing wrong...pls suggest
hello Dr S. can you tell me if the picture comes off the tissue paper after it's printed or off the candle when you fuse the tissue paper to the candle? If it comes off the candle after you have melted the wax, start over, put the tissue paper in place hold the non stick cooking paper tightly over top and heat the wax again, holding the paper tightly will press (fuse) the paper into the candle, if you dont heat it enough it will not fuse if you heat it too much the wax will bubble and drip, you need the goldilocks heat just right.
If its the printer you need to use an inkjet and print the tissue paper on the mat side not the shiny side 🦋 hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas hi, thank you for the response
The photo comes off the candle after few hours
Use modge to seal the image
Thank you for sharing!! This was great
You are so welcome Marcy! I still have my candles :-) cheers Donna
De-wrinkle tissue paper it ripped in the printer and caused a jam. Learn form my mistake!
!! hi Tylor !! that sux, did you have it secured well to an A4 blank sheet of paper? because it's a bit risky if you don't, cheers Donna
Yeah just used an old crumpled sheet i found and it ripped of inside the printer and the printer paper was fine the tissue paper was not.
bumma, your paper sheets need to be straight, you got it it right "learn from ur mistake" can u get it out of the printer ok?
Yeah its fixed now.
top stuff !!
brilliant, thank you!
Jeni Lou !! hi Jeni Lou !! it is, it can be so personal or go mad with the bling lol cheers Donna
Can i use parchment paper instead tissue paper?
!! hi Andrea !! probablly not because parchment paper is used for cooking and is non stick. you neeed to use tissue paper so it is held/fused into the wax when it gets hot 🦋 cheers Donna
nice job! thanks for sharing, I love your accent
!! hi Mrs. KB. !! thanks for your lovely complement, cheers donna :-)
When I try printing a picture it comes out all blurry and does not look like the original any advice it’s like the ink smugged
hi Momnah did you use an inkjet printer and a tip is to print on the matte side there's a matte and a shiny side. once you print leave to dry it might takes a long time :-) cheers Donna
Junk Journal ideas hi no I don’t think it’s an inkjet printer is that necessary
I used an ink jet, every printer is diferent im afraid im not sure whats happening with yours :-)
