Stamps and Candles

[Mindle75]

I recently learned how to use tissue paper and stamps to create a "personalized" candle. BUT, now I want to know if there is any way to create something on a computer to put on a candle using the tissue paper. Basically I'd like to take my sister's wedding invitation and "apply" it to a candle. Does anyone know how I can do that?

I've never done anything other than stamp on the tissue paper. How about trying the light weight vellum? I know that you can run it through the printer w/o any problems. Maybe it will be thin enough to work on the candle.

Just a thought,

Aloha,
You can use photo transfer paper that you get at any office store or even Wal-mart I think. Print your image onto the photo transfer paper following the directions ( remember that you will want you r image to be reversed on the transfer paper, especially if you are using words) then iron transfer it to tissue paper and continue the stamped candle technique. Just be very careful and take your time. It might take a few tries to get it right. I find that most of the time, using photos, I get an antique look...kinda cool. Good luck and let me know if you need further instruction!
