Working with wax films and decorative wax

Example
Flame cross

A showpiece of a candle that Iris has decorated with wax films.

Necessary equipment:
blue candle
black decorative wax film
white decorative wax film
stripes of a decorative wax film 2mm
high-gloss candle varnish

Furthermore you need:
a special talent for designing something.

On www.candlecraftcenter.com you’ll find many adhesive wax films and other useful things for decorating candles.

The films have to be deducted and fixed at the candle by pressing them against the candle.

It is important that the candle and the decoration are quite warm, if not, the decoration won’t cling well to the candle. You can also heat them a little with a hairdryer. The use of wax films is very easy.

With craft scissors (waves, tines) you can create wonderful edges.

You can cut out your self-created shapes with a knife or scissors. Otherwise, you can cut some shapes with usual cookie cutters.

When you dip the candle afterwards into high-gloss candle varnish from www.candlecraftcenter.com the candle will look very precious!
