These candles look beautiful and make a great gift for your loved ones. The special feature: The candles are not inscribed with a wax crayon, but the flowers and hearts as well as the writing is previously applied to tissue paper and then transferred to the candles. This makes it possible to create fine lettering and beautiful watercolour motifs.

This is how the beautiful candles are designed:
Watercolour hearts or flowers on the smooth side of the tissue paper and leave to dry.

Then place the lettering template under the tissue paper and trace the lettering with the fineliner.

Place the tissue paper on the surface of the candle, stretch the baking paper tightly over it and heat it carefully with the embossing dryer. As soon as you see that the wax is liquefying on the surface, switch off the hair dryer. After a short moment, carefully remove the baking paper. The motif has now "sunk" into the top layer of wax.

Transfer the box template to the motif cardboard. Fold the dotted lines, fold and glue together. Place the candles inside and use another strip of cardboard as a banderole.

Important: Never leave a candle burning unattended.
