The first thing I would like to share with you is we will be launching the creative inspirations challenge blog on Wednesday 25 march :) So please pop along and join in!!
Also I have a few little creations to share with you :) I decided I wanted to make something a little different for mothers day this year so after looking at a few of bevs altered items i was inspired to decorate some candles, which were alot easier to make than i first thought!!
So here is the first one i made for my mummy :) She was delighted with it this morning, she loves seeing all my little creations lol
and here is the second one i made which is for my Nan. I used the same image on the candle as i did on her card so its a matching gift :) (you can see the card in the post below) I am entering this candle into:
- ABC - F is for flowers
- Stamp something - think spring
Recipie:
- Martha stewart doily punch for the bottom border
- penny black spring greetings image
- prima flower
To make you own candle all you need is:
- a plain candle
- Thin tissue paper
- a heat tool
- greaseproof paper
Method
- Stamp your desired image onto thin tissue paper and colour it in (i also used glitter glue for the little bees wings which looks really effective!)
- Cut around the image carefully
- Place the image into place on the candle
- then wrap greaseproof paper around the candle, hold it tightly so that the image stays in place
- Gently heat it with you heat tool, it will glisten when the image is melted into the wax
- gently take of the greaseproof paper and your done :)
Thanks for popping over to take a look!!!!
Recipie:
