DIY Candle Craft...Thanksgiving time or anytime.

I saw this on pinterest and thought I would try it out. You could really do this for anything, but I thought being Thankgiving, I would make one with my favorite verse.



Materials needed:
*Candle (white would be best, I used a beige)
* wax paper
*tissue paper (white)
*blow dryer or heat gun (I am not that fancy lol)
*sharpie pens

Draw or write on the tissue paper.


Got my candle and blow dryer. Wrapped the tissue  paper around the candle.


 Then I wrapped and held down the wax paper while using the blow dryer on hot/high for about 30 seconds or so.

You can start to see the tissue paper disappearing (melting) into the candle. Be sure to keep the heat moving around the candle or it will start to melt and drip. You don't want that mess.
You can see in the left corner the "white" part and the rest of it melted into the candle.


You could do this with any picture or saying you would like. The hardest part was finding a candle.
