YES absolutely. Use vellum and run through computer like regular paper. Cut down to fit if you cannot find letter size. Make sure to adjust your printer settings for 'transparencies' in your print setup.
Laser printers do the best job so be careful handling the final product if you used an inkjet printer to do it. The ink may smudge if you rub it.Use double sided tape to stick the paper on the candle. Make sure to leave around and inch of candle exposed at the top so it has room to 'burn' without reaching where the paper is! HTH Meg

I found this photo in a post by Aug07OFCbride she did a beautiful job! She used ribbon matching her wedding colors to cover the edge of the vellum and left a nice amount of room for the candle to burn!

I think you should. It really is easy and I think they look great. Just thought I'd tell you too that when I practiced doing one at christmas I used DS tape for putting the vellum on the candle, and hot glue to attach the ribbon to the vellum paper.

I'm doing a DIY unity candle as well. I bought the vellum paper at michael's and it comes with the sticky stuff already on it

Yeah, you can. I brought the vellum from Michael's.
