love these!!! do you put them on a glass candle holder? And, where did you get the cellophane bags? It's one thing to make something, but the presentation often makes the gift so much better? I really love your presentation with the gift tag. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Thanks so much for the kind words! - Kimmer, I agree with your comments on presentation!
I put them on round glass candle holders first, and then gathered a square of clear cello wrap off a roll (candle holder and cello wrap both from local Wal-Mart) and tied with a ribbon. I attached the coordinating tag to the ribbon by using the Black tab pieces from the Pockets and Pieces Assort 2 set. So easy and lots of fun!

Now, you've gone and done it! I was never really that interested in stamping on candles till I saw your three and how beautifully you presented them. I think I see a bunch of these in the future of my friends and family. It'll have to wait till next Christmas (have to get the set, have to get the candles!), but now I have to learn how to do this. TYFS

I love this! It would be perfect for a gift for my son's teacher. How do you stamp on candles and also get the color on them? These are just so beautiful!

Hi lesleygj - Take a look at the resources section on this site - it is excellent! I used the Stamping on Candles instructions that are there, except I used pencil crayons to colour the stamped image on the tissue paper.
Here's a link to the instructions: Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
So fun and so easy!
