Equipment
- Candles
- Tissue paper
- Card stock
- Tape
- Printer
What You Will Need
- Americana Decoupage Medium
- Images of your choice
Instructions
- Put tissue paper on cardstock with the shiny side face down. Turn around to the back, fold over, and tape in place. Be sure to tape all the way around and leave no loose edges.
- Run the tissue paper covered cardstock through your printer (tissue paper side UP). Print the image of your choice onto the tissue paper using a printer paper or what’s available to you.
- Cut tissue paper away from card stock then trim to size of the candle. The tissue paper should fit the candle height and wrap around the entire candle meeting in the back.
- Apply Americana Decoupage to the candle then carefully lay on the tissue paper.
- Please note that once you lay the tissue paper onto the decoupage covered candle you will not be able to move it without tearing. Place carefully and push down gently. Small tears will be fine but large ones can ruin your project. Allow the decoupage to fully dry before handling the candles.
