Aren't these cute? You can use the same technique for stamping on candles on tealights. Stamp your image on tissue paper and color. I used marker here but have also used colored pencils. Cut the image, and if you use a shape that works in our punches, it's as easy as can be. For a tealight you need to use a hole punch to make room for the wick. It's a big help to punch the tissue on a piece of scratch paper so that the tissue doesn't tear. Place the tissue on the candle and heat with a heat tool to "melt" the tissue into the wax. It is really still there, but the wax of the candle melts around it. If you were doing a candle, you could hold it on securely while you heat it with wax paper.
I have been planning for a few months to do a tealight with stamp club sometime soon. And then in my latest APEX swap organized by my upline, I got one of these from another talented demo in our group.... great minds do "ink" alike!
Well isn't that just the coolest idea!!
