Stamping on Candles

Infant Jesus Stamp NS455	Heart Rose NS2028	Lily Cross J608

What Is Needed

1. A candle: any size, shape or color.

2. Try Aromatherapy candles for Special Occasion party favors for Weddings and Showers (Now available both online and in our catalog #6652 Square Votive Candles $7.50 for 4)

3. Rubber stamp designs

4. Ink, embossing powder, heat embossing tool

5. White wrapping tissue paper

1. Plan the design for your candle.

2. Cut a piece of tissue paper to the size of the area you wish to decorate.
   Stamp, decorate and heat emboss the design on the tissue paper. If you are adding a single small design, cut it out close to the edge of the image. If you are stamping on all-over design,use just one piece of tissue paper cut to measure around the candle without overlapping.

3. Stamp your image on the tissue paper with Pigment Ink, Sprinkle gold embossing powder over the image, tap off the excess and heat emboss until powder turns from dull to shiny gold raised image. You can also add color to your embossed areas with markers or colored pencils.(See NS2028)

4. Preheat your embossing tool for a moment, then begin to apply heat to the surface of the candle lightly melting area. Heated surface should have a smooth glossy sheen. Move the tool uniformly around the area for even heating.

5. Apply embossed tissue over area just heated on candle. Heat emboss and you will see it "disappear" as the heat melts the surface of the candle, causing it to absorb into the tissue. Only your heat embossed design will remain.
