Candle Stamping--Thanks to Judy Smith!!!

It's easy to stamp on a candle!!  These make great gifts!

MATERIALS
Candle
Tissue paper the same color as candle
Wax Paper
Hair dryer

DIRECTIONS
Stamp the tissue paper as desired.
Trim off all excess tissue paper.
Hold tissue paper around the candle and wrap a piece of waxed paper around the tissue.
Heat with a hair dryer, the wax will start to melt and the tissue paper will absorb it and disappear.
The wax paper serves as a sealer and the wax finish will melt on top of the tissue paper and give your candle a finished look.
Peel off the waxed paper while wax is still hot.
