Hi there crafters
i have been experimenting
with candles again
and to be honest with you im blown away!!!
the magic is
Stick and Spray
from
yes that's right no kidding
i did get good results heating the candles with a wrap
of greased proof paper but holding it in place was a nightmare
it kept slipping which you don't want
so today i got out my candles
stamps embossing powder and played...
i did 6 candles in just under 12 minutes got quite a little production line going on lol
everyone perfect no runs no pitting or dimples
It's so darn easy
with the stick and spray
i have taken some pictures of each step
in case you might like to try it for your selves
Step 1
heat emboss your stamped image onto tissue paper
Step 2
cut around your image not to close keeping your edges curved if you can to get a softer effect
Flip over your image over give it a quick light blast of Stick and Spray
you don't need a lot a fine mist will work brilliantly
there is no rush it will stay tacky for quite a while
just let the spray agent evaporate like you would if you use if for stamping
Step 3
place your image right side up onto your candle and smooth out with your finger tips
you can re-position at any time as i said no rush
make sure there are no bubbles or creases in the tissue paper
and heat set the image
Making sure your heat gun is moving at all times
you will clearly see the wax melting through the tissue
you move to another area
once it was all done but still warm
i rolled the candle onto some grease proof paper to make sure all the edges were in cased in wax
but really i didn't need to
as i said everyone worked perfectly
here is the finished candle ready to decorate
honestly do try it with the stick and spray
Brilliant stuff
Magic in my eyes
your able to hold the candle while your heating too
with the greased proof paper i felt i couldn't see the wax clearly melting
this way you have no fear of that it's happening there right in front of you
i had no problems heating the image that had the stick and spray onto my candle
no fumes or any such thing at all
i was in full control at all times doing it this way
didn't feel like that using the greased proof wrap that's for sure
i do like to be safe when im crafting
here is one of the other candles that i made this morning
decorated all ready to give as a gift
PS: just added a picture of the Stick and Spay
