Iused to make these candles many years ago, but we put the tissue paper on, covered it with wax or parchment paper large enough to grip it from the back, & used a heat gun to melt the tissue paper with design into the candle. I've not done one with foil, because foiling wasn't a known technique back then, but i need to try this now. Not sure if heating it like i described would take the luster of the foil or not. Something else to experiment with. Your candle is beautiful!
Your videos are excellent! Just a few questions...can you kindly tell me the name of the font? Second, what brand and model printer do you use? Lastly...you rock!
Hi! I really like the video! Thanks for sharing! I would to know what size of candle do you use for first communion? If you have a Amazon link, could please share it with me! Thank you!!!
I have a problem. I am having gold foil flecks left on the vellum sheet the size of the piece of foil. Words look great but yeah the foil that should not have printed as there is no ink on those area's.
Hey, what kind of laminator is this? Is it a special one or a "normal" laminator. And whats the name of the program which you use to create the Writing Thanks ♥️
Hi, Any ideas on how I can transfer my letters/design onto gold foil from waterslide decal paper? I tried doing the same process in your video but the whole paper became gold, not just the letters. Any help would be appreciated.
This process does work on either size machine but with the 6” machine you would be limited to the smaller paper size and possibly need a smaller candle.
Hey..hi , is that a lamination sheet that you covered the tracing paper and the foil with ? And then run it through the lamination machine?? Can we use regular iron for the purpose?
What brand, double sided tape do you use? Have you had experience using a regular laminator? I attempted with a normal one and it came out a little cracked. Not solid like yours.
We use a couple different brands of tape such as 3m, simon says, ultimate crafts etc... I would not use a regular laminator because they cannot get hot enough. The foil needs an even hot heat to stick to laser toner.
Is that tracing paper = vellum? I'm trying to find some and my searches for "tracing paper" are yielding carbon paper and thin paper rolls like baking paper etc - I don't think that's right because yours is thicker. And BTW for anyone who is wondering about a laminator - I use my $30 "be" brand one from Big W (Australia) for foiling with no probs at all ;) Thanks so much for your tutorials BTW. I always enjoy watching them. :)
+Alisa Gordon Hi Alisa, I used 'translucent tracing paper' which we stock but it can also be called Vellum. Although, some vellum papers have a slight texture which reduces the foil quality.
This is a standard size church candle so you shouldn't have much problem finding it. Some stores are spotlight, variety stores and possibly dusk. The best bet would be online though.
I've just bought a Minc machine and I am trying to make my daughter a candle. The gold foil doesn't transfer entirely and I don't know how to fix it. I am using a laser jet print and the CMYK values are all correct. Some blogs say to try Decofoil. Do you have any tips on how I can make the gold foil come out right? Help!
It’s difficult to say what is happening in your case as there are heaps of variables. Laser printers all output toner differently, some printers output a lot more toner than others and this can have an effect on how much foil sticks to the paper. Another issue can be the paper you are using and what the surface is made of. Surfaces and textures can be very different from batch to batch. If you are able to foil other papers with no problems and it is not your printer, try using a different vellum or maybe give waterslide a try. Good luck!
I would NOT burn this candle with the paper on, it will burn baby burn! there are too many tutorials about decorated candles which do not understand the dangers of candles burning with intense heat, meeting with a layer of paper on the outside. You must clearly state to whoever you give it to = REMOVE THE PAPER COVER BEFORE BURNING THIS CANDLE!!!
+bobzthecat I agree that some people don't understand the dangers of burning candles, but as I have stated it is okay to use burn proof paper (as long as they purchased the correct paper!) or use burn proof decal paper specifically made for candles.

I have never seen such candles, but wont that be dangerous when burnt?
Beautiful work! What is the name of the font you used for "Emily Rose"?
Oh gosh, this is so beautiful. Not sure if I can make it though.
Beautiful❤
Oh Wow! That mink thing makes amazing work!
Hi my transluscent doesnt foil well it has a black spot. I tried all numbers but it doesnt work. Any tips? Thanks
The Laserprinter does it have to be in color?
Can I make this using my Cricut machine?
very nice thank you for sharing
Machine price & link please where did u buy? Is the paper too burn while we light?
I thought about using this idea but worried that the paper would catch fire when the candle is lit or remains lit.
you do not lite these candles 😊
can we use the printers they have at grade schools or highschools??
Hi! I really like the video! Thanks for sharing!

Hi lovely tutorial.. was wondering if you can use vinyl on candles too?
Eine ganz interessante Idee
Enjoyed that very much have been looking for new ways to do candles.Thank you
I have a problem. I am having gold foil flecks left on the vellum sheet the size of the piece of foil. Words look great but yeah the foil that should not have printed as there is no ink on those area's.
Hi, do you sell burn proof decal paper?
Will the paper on the candle not burn
what font did you use for the "God Bless" and the "Emily Rose"
Josephine Paniagua were you able to find out what font ?
Hi.. what font did you use for Emily Rose? Thanks
Thank you na candles became Beautiful
hi what do you call that machine that you used to transfer the gold letters?
Heidi Swapp Minc
Hey, what kind of laminator is this? Is it a special one or a "normal" laminator. And whats the name of the program which you use to create the Writing Thanks ♥️

Molto molto brava ma! Nn ci sono i sotto titoli in italiano .
Does this work with Heidi Swapp 6" minc machine? That is much cheaper.
This process does work on either size machine but with the 6” machine you would be limited to the smaller paper size and possibly need a smaller candle.
I dint think you can burn a candle with tracing paper on it as its flammable???
Can u please tell me the machine used. What it's called?
It's a laminator machine
Where do you find carrier sheets in Sydney?
what laser printer do you recommend...
Would vellum paper work?
Unfortunetly not :( Vellum is flammable. You could use it if you do not plan to light it.
Which machine is this??
Hey..hi , is that a lamination sheet that you covered the tracing paper and the foil with ? And then run it through the lamination machine??
Can we use regular iron for the purpose?
+Bhumika Dedhia I used a Heidi swapp transfer pouch. Please do not use a lamination sheet as your paper inside will be completely laminated.
What about when lit won't the paper begin to burn ?
These are decorative candles, keepsakes. Not for burning but as a display to keep.
Beautiful..... I Love It :-)
hi. what font did you use for the name Emily Rose? thank you for the tutorial
Can you use tissue paper to print the letters as well?
is it safe to burn the candle ? thanks

Hi what fint is Emily rose?
when we substitute the carrier sheet for copy paper, do you mean like a regular sheet of paper or?? someone please help me out
Yes, a regular sheet of paper
Where can i order?
Would this technique work on a white decorative box?
Yes, it would work if it was used as a wrap.
Could you do a video? :)
I like your vlog mama

Thanks for that :) what gsm is best for a candle? I didn't realise you had a shop - I must go check it out ;)
You sale everything we need what is your site name
What app are you using to change image colors?
Not sure what you are referring to. We haven’t used any apps, there are no images.
do I have to use glue for this specific project?
You could use any adhesive for this project as long as it is not flammable
Eternal Stationery is there an email I can message you with more specific questions
Where can I buy this candle in Sydney, Australia?
This is a standard size church candle so you shouldn't have much problem finding it. Some stores are spotlight, variety stores and possibly dusk. The best bet would be online though.
Could I use clear vinyl instead of translucent tracing paper?
No, I wouldn’t risk it unless the vinyl was heatproof

@@EternalStationeryMelbourne I don't think it exists? Burn proof decal paper?
It sure does exist
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
Try listening without sound!
That's scary
