DIY Custom Candles for Valentines | CraftyPaws

I love the little “Christmas Doggy” from My Creative Time and the sweet poodle from the Penny Black “Mimi in Paris” stamp sets that I wanted to make custom candles with them as a little prezzie for my hubby for Valentines.

20160107_122922I colored up the poodle with the following Copic colors:Ā E51, E21, E11, and E93,Ā and theĀ fluffy spotted dogĀ in:Ā W1, W3, E33, E23 and E25

Then I scanned in both images into my computer and tapedĀ some tissue paper onto card stock to run through my printer. Ā I printed out several images of each pup onto the tissue paper and then loosely cutĀ them out.

I adhered the tissue paper images of the pups onto fragrant white candles from the Dollar Tree by covering them with wax paper to hold them in place as I slightly melted the wax of the candles with my heat tool. Ā This light melting embeds the tissue paper into the surface of the candle wax, and voila! Custom candle!

Then I created sturdy chip board candle bases and had fun decorating the bases and the lower part of the candles with loads of paper flowers. Ā I used hot glue to adhere all the roses and then added a finishing touch of small pearl heart stickers, also from the Dollar Tree. This was a new-to-me technique, and I’m so pleased with the results.Ā I’m madeĀ a set of poodle ones for my sister (she has 2 poodles) so she can have them by her soaking tub. Ā She and I are kindred spirits when it comes to our pups, and I know she’ll love the ones I made for her.

The following is a process video of making these custom candles:
