How To Add Images To Candles
Transfer images to plain white pillar candles to turn these inexpensive candles into boutique-chic home decor. These make great gifts for the teachers, co-workers and friends in your life!
For this project you’ll need:
White pillar candles ( buy here!)
White tissue paper
Cardstock or heavy duty paper
Painter’s tape
A heat gun
Wax paper
Scissors
1. Tape your tissue paper to the card stock or heavy paper. The shiny side of the tissue paper should be down, matte side up.
2. Print your image on the paper.
3. Cut out your image from the tissue paper.
4. Cut a piece of wax paper big enough to wrap around your candle.
5. Center the tissue paper with image on your candle, with the matte side against the candle.
6. Wrap the image and the candle with wax paper, waxy side facing the candle.
7. Use the heat gun to gently heat the image. As soon as you see the image brighten, it’s been fused to the candle.
8. Make sure the whole image has been transferred before peeling back the wax paper to reveal your beautiful new candle! To see the full post and instructions, https://h2obungalow.com/how-to-add-images-to-candles/
Now all that’s left is to enjoy your beautiful new candles at home or add a ribbon and give these beauties as gifts.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Do you think you could do this to a candle that is a light?
Wouldn’t you need to transvers the print so that when you heat the image onto the candle it won’t be backwards?
Is there anyway to do this without a heat gun?
