I am making a memorial candle... I try to be crafty, but unless it's relatively easy, i'm not so good at it! I am envisioning fairly plain writing with the names of the people who have passed... what type of paper do i use and where do i get it? how to i get it to stick to the candle? anything else i should add?
TIA!

Re: DIY Memorial Candle
Okay when I made my Unity Candle this is what I got The Candles I got Vellum paper (the clear-ish paper you can get it at Michaels) 1 piece of scrap book paper for some 'decoration' a glue gun
Making it is fairly simple, you just have to have patients I think to make sure everything is even

Re: DIY Memorial Candle
i have a picture of mine in my pro-pics album. it was really easy. all you need is vellum and the candle you like.
just make sure that you get the kind of vellum for your printer.

Re: DIY Memorial Candle
i used printer paper for my candle. I made sure I selected a tall pillar candle that I could place the paper farther down at the center so it could burn. Imade a unity candle doing this. So listing names will be a lot shorter than using the wording for the invitations. Tacky glue also holds good without using a hot glue gun which may melt the candle. Use a low temp glue gun though, if you go that route.

thanks. it was really easy!
just remember what i said: make sure that the vellum is the right kind for your printer, or else it will smear.
good luck. can't wait to see the finished product

Re: DIY Memorial Candle
i'm making our Unity candle. It's very VERY simple. I am using Vellium paper to print the message on, and then I'm cutting it in an oval and using push pins (pretty ones) I am attaching it to the candle

Re: DIY Memorial Candle
You buy Vellum paper, and Vellum tape. Both are in expensive. I made mine this morning. Pics to follow once FH gets home to upload the pics. It's VERY easy to do. Just take your time.
