Beautiful. “Mistakes” make it a one of a kind gift. Thank you for leaving the “ooops” in. Helps us realize not everything has to be perfection, and that everyone can have a mistake. Ruth
Excellent , made it so easy for us beginners ,,,,so grateful to people like u who arent selfish to educate others,,,its yur way of leaving us wit yur own footprints
I like this method because there are so many napkin designs out there to use. For your candle's mistakes, an easy fix is to take a candle of the same color, hold it above the sides of your candle and drip the wax down the sides of the candle all around it and in front of your design. You can also pull colors from your design and add drips of those colors to the top. Another easy fix for the design is to hold textured fabric over the whole design, then use your heat gun to melt the texture into your picture, then remove it right away. This will leave a beautiful matte finish over your design and any mistakes won't be noticeable. If you've ever seen expensive professional photos printed with a finish over them similar to this you have an idea of what it will look like. This is a great technique to use over pictures even without mistakes! It gives them an interesting texture that differs from the rest of the candle. I use this method a lot when I make people candles that have country themed homes, for people who work with fabric, as well as when I make candles for a new baby. Many people use the baby shower candles as decorations. They don't want to burn them. So, let's say for a girl, I will put a picture that matches the baby's room, a baby, praying hands, and the name and birthday of the baby on the candle then embellish it with appropriate items to match. The possibilities are endless. Because you do so much mixed media you would excel at this. You only need to learn to melt wax onto the embellishments instead of using glue. 🙂
💖I wondered how this would work, I thought they were decoupaged, but this way it is part of the candle! Thank you for showing the "opps" it helps in two ways 1. It shows there is always a learning curve 2. It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.
This is so stinking cute!!!! I love that you never cut out the parts where your mistakes are. Makes you seem more human. Simple to make and your tutorial was on point as usual!! TFS!! ⛄XO🌲XO🎅XO🎄XO🎁XO❄
Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this. I tried this once using a tutorial from the internet. The tutorial said to use waxed paper rather than parchment. It turned out OK but, of course, the waxed paper is bonded to the candle over the napkin and it does not look as lovely as yours. I will have to try making another candle using parchment paper. I used a hair dryer when making mine. Maybe it doesn't get as hot as the heat gun? I had no problems with melting the candle. Just be sure to keep the heat source moving over the candle.
Pretty design. I did something similar where I printed a design on tissue paper and used wax paper because that's how I had on a lil white candle. I used a hair dyer as well. It's tricky but I love it, so I'll never burn it. Nice to see another approach to making those :)
@@dinekeketelaar9993 Hi there! I recall straightening out the tissue paper so its nice and smooth. Then I taped the corners to a blank white piece of paper as backing. Select the design and print. Depending on your printer, you might have to put face down or up. You kinda have to watch it to make sure it comes through, be gentle when peeling off. I also let it dry for a while just to make sure the image set. I found the idea on The Graphics Fairy site. I hope you have fun! :)
Love it Marta. On camera, the flower looks really dimensional - as if it is still living inside the candle and is blooming out of it. Stunning. Happy accident as Mr. Ross would say. Good girl yerself! Love the way you're not afraid to try OR record your first try. I can't even get to trying some things let alone record a thing!!
Absolutely lovely. I was touched that you were willing to share the little mistakes that are part of learning any craft. Like another lady here in the comments section, I saw this done with wax paper. A napkin wasn't used, but an inked up craft stamp on white tissue paper. If we are able to use our craft stamps, it gives us a lot of different options for design. So, wax paper or parchment, napkins and /or ink stamped tissue paper? Any experience anyone has on this gratefully received. Now I am going to subscribe!
💝💝 I have seen those candles at botiques and craft fairs, but I never knew how they did this. Thank you for the tutorial. I love your candle, mistakes and all. Handmade art is not supposed to be perfect. 💝💝
That was really amazing. I've never seen that technique been done before. It turned out beautiful, even with the little imperfections. This is a fabulous gift idea that I'm certainly going to try. Tfs.
Beautiful and fab video thank you so much. I like that you were honest about imperfections as so many you tubers portray false perfection. Well done ✨Louise and Emily ❤
💖I love this technique!!! It came out beautifully..I have been having the idea to decoupage candles..and now I can make them so lovely 💕💕thank you for sharing!
just be careful when burning the candle. Accidents has happened when the napkin caught fire when you burn the candle. Better to use transfer sheets designed for candles. But to just decoration this is amazingly beautiful 💙♥❤
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Love how it looks the decoupaged candle but considering the risks of catching an unwanted fire, then I’ll get a white candle, the ones that come with a clear glass vase , and decoupage the vase😁😁
Back to one of your older videos! :-) I didn't know this technique and definitely will try it out! Thank you for sharing the process and pointing out the little mistakes you made so we can try to do it beautifully ourselves! Have a nice week! Love from tiny Belgium xxx
So many new things to try! You are truly outdoing yourself! What ever will I do? There are only 14 days till Christmas! So much fun to be doing these with my friends!
Hey Maremi I was inspired to do your method and mine came out perfect, I used two methods a hair dryer and then a tea light candle with a spoon method both turned out really well. Thanx so much 💓👏🏼 - Hannah UK
What a great idea! I wonder if you could do the same with dried flowers. BTW, I love how you change the lights on the table. Almost every video, you have different Christmas lights. What a wonderful touch!
Lovely result and excellent tutorial with a honest approach. I wonder how the napkin is affected when the candle burns? According to some comments the napkin can also burn, so perhaps using this technique only for decorative purposes? Thank you!
Simply gorgeous!!! I've never seen that technique before and always thought it too fiddly and messy to try. I absolutely hate fussy cutting especially with flimsy napkins, but this I will try for sure!!! Huge thanks and big hugs as always!
I would think you could put the parchment paper back on, apply low heat and gently smooth the rough spots. A beautiful first try that I would be very proud of!
I saw some vids using decoupage glue to stick the napkin on candle. And I wondered if burning such candles is even safe. It's surely very different tricky effective technique used.
This turned out so so pretty. I will definitely try. I have decoupaged on other things but, not the candles. I have 2 questions: do I need to put a primer before sticking the napkin? Will I be able to burn the candle or its just for show? Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful. “Mistakes” make it a one of a kind gift. Thank you for leaving the “ooops” in. Helps us realize not everything has to be perfection, and that everyone can have a mistake. Ruth
I started making these back in the 80's, now I also use fabric with LED candles. 😉
How do you use lights?

this sounds genius but can you do a tutorial video? Im quite green about this idea
One lady said to use the oven. She was doing seashells. I got all the things needed, yay! You did great.
That's cool watching the wax melt and seeing the color change of the napkin.
I dread tutorials with a passion. Never watch tutorials but thanks so much for multitasking. This is so cool

And that the first won’t be too difficult! Thanks!💖
The flower design is beautiful on the candle. I have never seen this done before.
This is amazing! I used to actually carve the design onto the candle and then paint it! Craft I picked up while living in Colombia
This is so stinking cute!!!! I love that you never cut out the parts where your mistakes are. Makes you seem more human. Simple to make and your tutorial was on point as usual!! TFS!! ⛄XO🌲XO🎅XO🎄XO🎁XO❄
Awww thank you so much ❤️ 😊 😍 ❤️ 💕 ❤️ 💕
@@MaremiSmallArt what happened to the wax paper when candle Burns?
Yes I always appreciate the mistakes because I always make them and I don't know why because other people make it look so easy.
To those who ask if the paper would burn, a candle this size melts, it doesn't burn, only the inner core, so highly doubt that it would catch fire.
Well done and I’m so glad You correctly said serviette and not napkin as many do a napkin is made of fabric people a serviette is made of paper !
Very pretty And thank you for the thorough explanations!
Thank you for sharing where you said it got to hot and etc. I have never done this but surely want to give it a try. New subscriber.

There's special candle decoupage glue which allows you to burn the candle safely
Old Hag73 its battery operated lol
Old Hag73 oh actually you are right it's a real candle! Yes this can't be burnt because it's dangerous! X
Wowzer that is so beautiful, I actually have a candle making kit and moulds and may just try my hand at this. Thank you Marta
Wow! Simple yet stunning! Thanks Marta!
This is the best thing i discovered in crafting. Candles cost $30 a pop, now. I remember those Yankee candles were like $9 not so long ago
Back to one of your older videos! :-)
I didn't know this technique and definitely will try it out! Thank you for sharing the process and pointing out the little mistakes you made so we can try to do it beautifully ourselves!
Have a nice week!
Love from tiny Belgium xxx
Looks very nice and well done. Thank you..can't wait to try again
.x
I simply loved this ❤️
I have seen this done before but not with the parchment paper. Thank you for sharing. I want to do these for Christmas next year for my family.
Utterly beautiful!
Another beautiful idea for any season! Thank you Marta you’re are always inspirational! Hugs and love! ❤️ 💕
I have never tried candles. Beautiful.
So many new things to try! You are truly outdoing yourself! What ever will I do? There are only 14 days till Christmas! So much fun to be doing these with my friends!
Happy you like my Christmas vids 🎥🎥🎥🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hey Maremi I was inspired to do your method and mine came out perfect, I used two methods a hair dryer and then a tea light candle with a spoon method both turned out really well. Thanx so much 💓👏🏼 - Hannah UK
When you say tea light candle and spoon method do you light the bottom of the spoon via the tea light and place it up there?
So pretty! I also like that it's not perfect and looks handmade😉😀. Thank you!
What a great idea! I wonder if you could do the same with dried flowers. BTW, I love how you change the lights on the table. Almost every video, you have different Christmas lights. What a wonderful touch!
Yay thank you. I am glad you noticed 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡
I think dry flowers will work 🌸🌸🌸
NICE!
Love this. It was like watching magic happen as the napkin merged into the candle.
Wow easy but soooooo beautiful
Nice 👍🏻
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Marta, have you ever made shadow box? I think it would be a very interesting idea for Christmas 🎄 🥰😀♥️
Loved it 😍😍
I always wondered how they did that. Thanks Marta!
Lovely result and excellent tutorial with a honest approach.
I wonder how the napkin is affected when the candle burns? According to some comments the napkin can also burn, so perhaps using this technique only for decorative purposes?
Thank you!
I was decorating this more for the decorative purpose
OMG so beautiful!!💗💗💗💗 I really want to try to make my own candles, because I always buy them but it's not that fun 😊😋
I like to make special gifts with candles friends will enjoy, At Christmas I make a candle to match a small wreath as a gift for the table!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Wow that is so beautiful love this and plan to try as need new candle for Christmas centerpiece
Very nice job for first try!
Well done! Beautiful
Beautiful thanks for sharing♥️
Great tutorial! I always wondered how people decoupaged candles.
Wow! This is a stunning idea! I'm so impressed!!
Lovely! Thank you.
Lovely
That is absolutely gorgeous!!! I would love to try it. Thank you.
In love it ! I've a lovely robin serviette I can use !!! Soooooooo loving all your wonderful Xmas ideas x😊🎄🎁🎄🎁

Thank you for such amazing tutorials!
thank you so much for sharing . i am very inspired by the technique.
Came out cute.
Simply gorgeous!!! I've never seen that technique before and always thought it too fiddly and messy to try. I absolutely hate fussy cutting especially with flimsy napkins, but this I will try for sure!!! Huge thanks and big hugs as always!
Nice to c....u r presenting it well...
Great explanation love ur voice💖💖💖
Beautiful
Beautiful like always!
Precious!
Very, very pretty
Love it!
look beautiful - you used a beautiful flower napkin - tfs patrizia
I would think you could put the parchment paper back on, apply low heat and gently smooth the rough spots. A beautiful first try that I would be very proud of!
Thanks so much have been wanting to try this 😁

¡Precioso y muy bien explicado! Your English is very good. Say "Hi
to Geño. :)
Its Beautiful thank you for the info and tips! Thank you very much for sharing!! Hugs Liz x
Could I use a hair dryer? I don't have one of those heat guns.
Beautiful imperfection. 😍
This turned out so so pretty. I will definitely try. I have decoupaged on other things but, not the candles.
I have 2 questions: do I need to put a primer before sticking the napkin?
Will I be able to burn the candle or its just for show?
Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful!
Can you do this with a hairdryer
If you take a panty hose you can rub the over melting out. You can fix any candle with panty hose to fix little melts
i've made these and i've certainly done all those mistakes, but meh, embrace the wabisabi. a slightly misshapen candle now looks truly bespoke!
Very pretty!
Don't beat yourself up, THE CANDLE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!!
