Day 2 - So far so good. I am keeping up.
So, the other day I was browsing through a local bargain shop and found the really nice candle vases. My mind started whirling with the possibilities. Here is what I came up with.
I love the way these turned out. Here is a closer look.
If you have never made stamped candles before, then you are going to love how easy they are. To make these I first stamped the snowflakes on tissue paper. I cut the tissue paper into strips the right width and length for the candles. I laid the tissue on top of the candle, and using my heat gun I melted the the tissue and candle together. Be patient and work slowly and it will turn out beautifully. After they were cool, I spritz with some champagne shimmer mist and then some gold smooch spritz. I over did it with the smooch spritz, so I went with a wadded piece of facial tissue and dabbed some off. And, lastly, I added some rhinestones. Everything is prettier with bling.
All it needs now is a pretty bow tied around them with some Cherry Cobbler seam binding, which I am waiting to arrive.
Thanks for stopping by.
