Welcome to my Blog!

This is a place for me to share my love of crafts. Right now, I work mostly with paper and beads, but I have been venturing into fabric of late as well. Enjoy!

Baroque Holiday Candle

Supplies
6” Pillar Candle (AC Moore $2)
Baroque Motifs Stamp Set
Tissue Paper
Wild Wasabi Classic Stamp Pad
Purely Pomegranate Classic Stamp Pad
Purely Pomegranate Doubled Stitched Ribbon
Wax paper
Heat Tool

Directions

Cut a 5” x 9.5” piece of tissue paper.
Using the vine stamp from Baroque Motifs and the Wild Wasabi Classic Stamp Pad Stamp 3-4 vines alternating directions on the tissue paper.
Using the small flower and the Purely Pomegranate Classic Stamp Pad stamp some flowers on the vines.
Wrap the stamped tissue around the candle. Try to get it as smooth as possible.
Cover with Wax Paper, leaving excess to make a handle.
Heat with heat tool until the tissue is completely melted into candle. You may have to rotate the wax paper and the candle. It’s also good to preheat the heat tool for about 10 seconds.
