    Custom candle decorating is a really fun project, and a great way to create a personalized gift for someone! I actually know of two different ways to decorate and personalize candles, and I'm going to show you how to do both today in our tutorial video!

    * White Pillar Wax Candles - amzn.to/31BomWu
    * Wax Paper - amzn.to/30DsCWu
    * Decorative Tissue Paper (2 sheets) - amzn.to/2XHrrTM
    * White Tissue Paper (1 sheet) - amzn.to/3gG7R21
    * Tape - amzn.to/2DPYuOp
    * Heat Gun - amzn.to/3koJgkl - or hair dryer
    * Oven mitt
    * Scissors
    * Tape Measure
    * A way to print your image (I used the HP Envy 7155 inkjet printer - amzn.to/37rQYpq )
    * Design # 268 - My free image files (available in my free resource library at jennifermaker.com/library )
    The first way to make a personalized candle is to transfer an image you print onto a candle, like this family photo or this holiday message. So for this type of candle, you need an inkjet printer. I'm using an HP Envy 7155, but any good inkjet printer will work. You'll also need a sheet of regular white copy paper, some plain white tissue paper, and some wax paper.
    The second way to personalize a candle is with decorative tissue paper, like these pretty gold snowflake and geometric patterned candles. For this candle, you need the patterned tissue paper and some wax paper. If you cannot find a decorative tissue paper you like, you can always print your own just like you would print a photo or message!
    So by now you're probably wondering how in the world you get the image or pattern onto the candle. Well, the trick is HEAT. So you also need a heat gun -- the one I have here is a three hundred watt heat gun that can go up to three hundred degrees C. I got it for under $15 on Amazon, so if you don't have one, it's a worthy investment. But if you don't have or want to get a heat gun, you should be able to use a hair dryer instead.
    I also recommend a flexible tape measure for measuring your candle and a pair of scissors for cutting your paper!
    You can use pretty much any candle for this project, but you do want it to be made of actual wax. This technique would not work with LED candles unless they were made of wax also. I think these pillar candles work the best for showing off your design -- these are three inch diameter pillars in various heights. The link to these candles is in the supply list beneath this video!
    Now, I know it's not always easy to find patterned tissue paper, so I've created some designs for you to experiment with, and they fit the candles I've linked in my supply list perfectly. So let me show you where to find the designs, and then I'll show you how to transfer the designs to your candles!

    A tip. I include a tiny tealight candle in a metal cup with a large pillar candle gift. Instructions I include suggest the recipient only burn the pillar candle a little then put the tealight in place to burn. That way they can enjoy the illumination without losing the photo gift.
