Wow! Thank you! I've been looking for a way to make a Christ candle for Advent. This worked PERFECTLY the first time! I found an image off of the Internet. Printed it to the right size onto the tissue paper on my laser printer. Wrapped it in parchment paper and got the hair dryer out. I cannot believe how easy this was. I probably saved myself $50.
awesome Jason! gotta love it when things turn out great like this!! that's why i shared this, bc we spent the $50 on a candle and ever since i've been doing my own! cheers Donna
This is SUCH a wonderful gift idea!!! I just made my boyfriend a few candles for our one year anniversary and it only costed me around 10$! If you’re in the US, the greaseproof wax paper she used is sold here but called parchment paper instead! I was hesitant using my printer on tissue paper but it worked wonderfully! The wax didn’t melt when I adhered the photo trace on either. So glad I found this video :) 10/10 would definitely recommend
!! hi Riley !! your boyfriend would have loved the candles you made him. they're so much more special when you can personalize them. AND thank you so much for your lovely comment, I appreciate it very much, you've made my day cheers Donna
Thank you. Worked great. I used a heat gun. It only takes a moment for the image to print onto them. It rapidly heats up and enough to melt the candle so anyone else using one remember that.
it does work well thanks alot @madeanotherchannel, thanks for the heat gun tip too ✨ ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
oh wow. I did it and I can't wait to give it to my daughter. I did it on one of those little battery operated candles from the dollar store in beige..how cute!

Hi! Just wanted to say a bigggg thankyou, i made my 1st candles today and they turned out amazing , i m over the moon right now, the only thing i was not doing right was that i didnt fully cut the tissue paper and i was peeling that off 2 , i thought ink just gonna melt into the candle in actual i wasnt supposed to peel the tissue at all🙈 and 2ndly i just want to let everyone know that i have got a pad of A4 tracing papers from poundland and i directly printed on it, no need to attach onto normal paper sheet. Thanku again
!! hi A2zyumm Cakes !! well you had a fun time lol, glad you stuck with it. can you tell me if you actually ended up directly printing onto tracing paper and then fusing that onto the candle? and not using the tissue paper at all 🦋 cheers Donna
That looks so easy to do a lot less complicated than I thought it would be!
it's a fun project Leanne, just melt that wax the right amount and all will be good ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna

What window of time if any, do you need to do the transfer? Eg can I print pictures off at the library drive home and do it, or does it need to be done with a min of printing them?
no probs about printing at all, you can print and do it a week later, thanks for tuning in N the kitchen cheers Donna
Hello, i have a question. What's the difference between printing on regular paper versus printing on tissue paper and transfering it on the candle? which has a more professional finish look?
!! hi Ola El Chihni !! the difference is...the normal paper will not disappear into the wax, you will see it because it is heavier/thicker paper. The tissue paper is very light you can see through it when you hold it up, so when you print on it and heat/fuse it to the candle it disappears into the wax making it look like there is no edge. it makes it look like you printed directly onto the candle. definitely the tissue paper more pro finish !! 🦋 cheers Donna
this is sooooooooo AWSOM!!! But I do have a question is grease paper the only thing you can use or can you use wax paper or are they considered the same HELP!!! I want to do this
!! hi cece !! you are like me so passionate about your craft!! YES, grease and wax paper are the same, cheers Donna
Great informative video! Will have to try this with my father and stepmom as a gift!
!! hi POLOLYPO !! they will love it, and be amazed you made it!! cheers Donna
Awesome technique ... you explained it step by step

woow woooww woooww this video is outstanding I love it and I will try to make it
!! hi Lubna !! I love your comment !! Cheers Donna
When you lay the tissue paper onto the candle....do you face the printed side towards the candle, or does it face towards you? I hope that makes sense.
!! hi Kelly !! great question, face the printed side towards you, happy creating cheers Donna
Thanks for sharing! It is beautiful!
Thanks Brandi, the cute kiddies make it work thanks for tuning in and happy crafting 🦋 cheers Donna

+Dena Bitel !! Thanks !! I have made 3 different ones now, Im hooked they are so easy, cheers Donna :-)
Does having the tissue paper on the candle affect how the candle burns? Like, would you still be able to burn the candle all the way down to the bottom?
!! hi Charlene !! The candle will burn fine because the paper is on the out side of the candle and not near the flame. also the tissue paper is 17gm which is very thin. The picture i used is not wrapped all the way around, it is a cut out close to the outline of the subject, so the tissue paper will melt down with the folds of wax. The flame remains in the center of the candle and at no time is near the outside edge of the candle (under normal circumstances) cheers Donna
So kind of you very Nice. But i Wonder The graceproof papper where can i get it is there other kind of paper
Hello Zubaifa and thank you, its baking paper non stick from cooking section in shopping store cheers donna
Parchment Paper that you line cookie sheets with.
@@Raesling1 yes thats the one :-)
Absolutely Amazing Bravo 👏👏👏👏 Thank You
!! hi Tee kelly !! no probs and thank you so much 🦋 cheers Donna
Just one thought i had while watching your very educational video if you were to use a clamp such as those found for closing up potato chip bags to hold the tissues paper in place might be a little less cumbersome but thanks for the vid great job
!! hi vince rapper !! thanks for the great tip 🦋 cheers Donna
When I printed the photo I chose to print smudge the dark area was blotty and I could see that the ink from my ink jet printer ran. Will spraying the tissue before printing with a spray fixative affect the placing of the photo on the candle, or what would you suggest
Hey Neal have alook at tour paper to see ifs theres a shiny side and a matt side. Print on the matt side and dont select photo qaulity try standard print so it doesnt push as much ink out to the paper. Set it to the side and dont touch it for an hour or more if needed to totally dry. I know nothing about fixatives cheers Donna
mod podge the image and then try make sure its dry
@@JunkJournalideas
How long do you use the hair dryer on the candle??
!! hi Sacha !! just long enough to only very slightly melt the wax, the hot wax will act as a glue to hold the tissue paper on and the wax paper over the top holds the tissue paper flat onto the candle. cheers Donna
I love this! I'm making some for my daughters graduation with different pics as she grew up.
!! hi 2626firefly !! I love this too! the different pics will look awesome, so personal feel free to show what you make over on my facebook page ArtCraftCrazy cheers Donna

HI what type of tissue paper did you use? Thanks
!! hi Jovie !! in Australia we only call it tissue paper, i don't know of any other name. In the video i show you the package and it's 17gsm which is a very light paper that if you put your hand behind it you will see it through the paper 🦋 cheers Donna
Is greaseproof wax paper the same as parchment paper?
!! hi Riley !! yes, as long as it's a non-stick baking paper, that's what you want and your all good to go. cheers Donna
great thorough tutorial thank you
!! hi skip !! thanks for the compliment, I enjoy teaching cheers Donna
Thank you for this video I can make these as Christmas gifts for my daughter's godmothers with a newborn picture and her Christmas picture on it.
!! hi Lisa !! and thank you, perfect for christmas gift and a newborn, congratulations!! the candle will look adorable with a little one's picture on it, so special, cheers Donna
Is it ok to use a parchment paper
!! hey Josh !! if the parchment paper you are asking about is non stick, yes you can because you need the top sheet that wraps around the the candle to be non-stick, it's also known as baking paper, cheers Donna
hi, its awesome, im only confused that is it normal face tissue paper which we use to wipe face hands etc. or transfer/tracing paper use for drawing ?Thanks, love ya :) !♥
!! Happy To Help You !! Firstly thanks for your compliment. It's neither of these two, it's tissue paper like you wrap gifts with, it's very fine 17GSM paper, hope you can find some cheers Donna
hi, thanks bunches , ya got it. it's kinda crispier & use in m anythings... thanks for clearing my doubt . Cheers & hope to watch more videos like this.... ya great :)
So nice.so inexpensive.BRILLIANT IDEA..thanks so much🥰
Thanks mate it is all that, cheers Donna
LOVE! Thank you sooo much!
!! hi Lisa !! and thank you, I still have my candles, mind you a little mouse started nibbling on one i had in storage so it's now rubbish. Cheers Donna
Wow Great🇳🇪🕉🙏🧘♂️
thanks a lot 🦋 cheers Donna
great tutorial, but i wonder what happen to the printed paper while burning down the candle.. is it burning or remain???
!! hi Ranath !! the tissue paper is so fine it wrinkles up and folds down with the wax as it melts. it doesn't burn because the wick is in the center of the candle. i don't burn my candles because i keep them for keepsakes and decor in my room. cheers Donna
Oky. Got it. Thankuu
I tried it and it worked 😁😁😁😁thanks so much for sharing!

Hey which brand of transfer paper you used?
@@viiruiz6909 I'm in Australia Vii check out the packaging @ 0:42 Diamond ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Thank you for sharing!! This was great
You are so welcome Marcy! I still have my candles :-) cheers Donna
Can we use wax paper or grease proof paper?
!! hi Surita !! you can use either wax or grease proof paper, also known as baking paper as long as it is non-stick, cheers Donna
Thank you very much ❤❤❤
that's ok happy creating :-)
I like the idea but how can you light a candle of a loved ones photo on it.I would keep it just for Decoration
!! Hi Kerry !! I know right, I have kept mine for decor. Cheers Donna
Thank you for sharing this, I’m going to make some!
you'll love it Robin, have fun ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Excellent. Thank you
thank you so much Avolun, appreciate you're compliment cheers Donna
Can you use any color tissue paper
!! hi Michelle !! i'm sure you could, the reason I use white is because the edges dissapear into the candle wax when it is fused/heated with the hairdryer, cheers Donna
Thank you I made 2 I wish I can post them.
@@michellejohnson3371 you can post them here, I'de love to see them facebook.com/ArtCraftCrazy/
On some video using the same tehcnique, someone said that the tissue paper would catch fire, that it was dangerous... that it can only be used as decoration and not be burnt... is that true ? Have you tried ??
!! hi Anna !! firstly you should always burn candles under supervision, it is good advice to offer caution. The tissue paper has been used on the outside of the candle in a small amount and the candle burns from the center at the wick. I have used my candles for decor and I have burnt them only for demonstration and only when i'm in the room, cheers Donna
Fantastic Video, I've been looking for a long time for a decent video on how to do this. Thank You :)
Glad it helped! ☆ cheers Donna
Great idea, looks lovely. My one tip would be do not cut to close to photo then use water and thin paint brush and draw round the photo with the water, then pull away with you fingers, it will leave fibers hanging which will blend the photo into the candle with no harsh lines around your photo. Thanks for sharing your video looks lovely
!! Hi Denise !! Great idea thanks cheers Donna
Do you have an ink jet printer or laser? And can you do it how they do the napkins with a regular iron
!! hi Kassie !! I used an inkjet. I'm not familiar with the process you asked about. but at a guess i would say an iron is too hot, the direct heat would be a problem for you. 🦋 cheers Donna
Is wax paper the same as grease proof paper? I am from Canada and never heard of grease proof paper
!! hi Donna !! yes wax paper is the same as greaseproof, you can use any non stick cooking paper you can get, cheers Donna :-)
I think this is butter paper
@@noordeen9976 thanks for the tip, we don't have butter paper in Australia, as long as it's non-stick it will work, cheers Donna

Can’t wait to try
!! hi zee love !! super, happy crafting Donna
Can you burn the candle all the way down or should you not?
!! Hi Tiffany !! it's up to you, i havent burnt my candles because i keep them for decor only. If you burn your candles its always advised that you burn under supervision at all times. and just know that the flame is only on the wick in the middle of the candle, the flame doesnt go near the outer edge of the candle, the tissue paper is so thin it should just fold away and melt with the wax. just watch it if you decide to burn your's i cant say you can or you cant because i havent, Cheers Donna
what happens when you use the whole candle? does the picture burn?
if you wrap the whole candle in tissue paper, or it will fold down as the wax melts. the wax melts as usual and the paper could stay upright? i only burn the candle if im in the room and the flame stays to the inside of the wax it never goes near the outside edge, but to be sgfe always supervise
With candles like these, I drill out the top of it to make a hole for dropping in a tea light/candle. That way I can just keep burning and replacing tea candles and have these specially modified, large candles ones for a very long time. I use a spade bit in a drill to carve out a hole for the tea candle.
Brilliant idea love it! Thank you for sharing! Liz x
!! hi Elizabeth !! i can feel your enthusiasm love it, lol cheers Donna
I am so excited that I found this tutorial! I make Personalized T-Shirt Ornaments with any image in the world and personalize them with names, etc but I was looking for something new this year when I saw that it would cost me $40 for a personalized Yankee Candle! I was wondering though.... if the pics would still turn out right on colored candles? Like my T-Shirt Ornaments.... color is a big thing in matching my Dark / Light transfers. Would dark images be better on the white candle and colored candles for your photos with less dark colors? Thank You so much! Very excited to do this! How nice of you to show us how!
!! hi Journey Storm !! white candles show off the best, however it would be worth it to test a dark candle and and see how it shows the pic? I haven't done a dark candle. If the dark candle doesn't work out, try printing a colour match strip at the top of the candle and one at the bottom like a border.
Also there are LED candles available and you could glue on paper flowers in matching colours and bling etc this would look lovely too. happy creating :-) cheers Donna
Use a glove instead of wrapping a towel around your hand. Thanks 4 sharing😁
thanks for the tip Michelle i only have a towel, it got the job done and i've done a few It's always harder trying to do it under a camera thanks for tuning in and happy crafting 🦋 cheers Donna
Where could I get grease proof paper? Is it like wax paper that you would use while baking?
yes!! thats it you can use either one happy creating 🦋 cheers Donna
I'm wondering that as well, which side does the wax go onto?
The best tutorial so easy to follow thank you😊😊
!! hi Annmarie !! thank you I'm glad you like my style of teaching, and you're very welcome cheers Donna
Very clear video! Thank you..👍
!! hi Jilly !! thanks so much, cheers Donna
Can this method work on glass ? Like instead of using candles can it be done on a glass/frame.
!! hi Citlali !! no, you really need the wax to make this work, but you could use a tracing paper or vellum it would be an entirely different method. print your image onto the transparent paper of your choice and cut it to fit around your glass and sticky tape it around the back. the candle would glow inside the glass beautifully. cheers Donna
Are the candles safe to light? Or are they decorative only?
!! hi Kristina !! I used mine for decor. I'm guessing you could light them because, the flame is in the center of the candle and the tissue paper is around the outside no where near the flame. Always take causion with candles and light under supervision 🦋 cheers Donna
Great idea, thank you for sharing
!! thanks Grace !! It works really well and perfect for personalized gifts or inexpensive decors, cheers Donna
Thank you great tutorial
!! hi ecallic 100 !! no probs, and fun to make too 🦋 cheers Donna
Can you burn it down all the way
!! hi Nakisha !! I reckon you can, BUT as always candles should be burned under supervision. the tissue paper is only very thin and such a small piece on the outside of the candle, the flame is in the middle so the tissue paper transfer should just melt down with the candle wax. I didn't burn mine i kept them for decoration 🦋 cheers Donna
Can i use parchment paper instead tissue paper?
!! hi Andrea !! probablly not because parchment paper is used for cooking and is non stick. you neeed to use tissue paper so it is held/fused into the wax when it gets hot 🦋 cheers Donna
