Christmas Candle

Good afternoon.  Hope this finds everybody well and keeping dry.  We have been having very heavy rain and last night a bad storm.  I was sitting at the kitchen table when there was such a noise I thought the window blinds or the window frame was about to land on me.  I actually jumped a few inches! The noise of the rain was bad enough but the thunder seemed to be bouncing off the roof!

My Project

I have wanted to do one of these candles for ages but I thought it would be quite difficult so I kept putting it off.  I came across this small pillar candle at the back of the candle drawer in the kitchen (my emergency supplies in case of power cut) so thought it would be a good one to attempt this technique.  My goodness, this is so easy it's untrue!  I can't believe just how quick and easy! I just popped it onto a little silver candle dish and draped a string of silver pearls round in order to take the picture. They are not fastened on in any way which is why they look messy, but obviously I will decorate it too.  I will certainly doing more of these. I think they will make lovely little gifts.  The image I used is "Little Ivy" from LOTV  and I just coloured it with Promarkers. She is so pretty.

Well that's it for today. I think I'd better start thinking about lunch!

    Hi there blog friend! You and me both - but you have been brave and have made one! LOL. I love the idea but could you tell me how you did the image. Did you print it off on tissue or stamped then coloured? I have seen some ways on the TV but just wondered if you had done anything different. Sorry to be a nosy so and so - but then you know moi!!!

    Big hugs to you - oh and I love the stand as well. This sort of creation would make a gorgeous little stocking filler.

    Hi Christine,

    Very pretty candle. I used to put pictures on candles but with printed tissue paper that you could put through the printer and just heat set it onto the candle with a heat gun. Your way seems so much easier lol!

    Love & Hugs
