How to make an altered candle with a digital image - a step by step guide

Firstly tape your tissue paper to a piece of card before putting it into your printer


Then print your images


Next colour in your chosen image.
This is TEDDYBEA_225 coloured with Promarkers


Then carefully cut out your image


Place your image onto your candle (I have used an unscented plain pillar candle) and cover with heat proof paper (baking paper)


Gently heat using a heat tool - you should see a distinct colour change as the wax melts and comes through the tissue paper


Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing the baking paper and there you have it, your fabulous altered candle!
