Sure, I made it in a program called Print Shop, but you can also make it in power point or similar program.
(if you want me to email you the flourishes I used just let me know - I have others too).
I went to Michaels, and bought 2 pieces of white vellum paper, pillar candle and 2 taper candles. I also bought 'glue dots' and craft glue, 2 ribbons and pearl ribbon/edging.

Print out your monogram/ names, or whatever it is you want your candle to say, on the vellum. Cut it to size, maybe about 4 or 5'. Stick the glue dots around the back perimeter of the vellum, and stick it on the candle.

Then cut your ribbon to size. I used the glue dots for the ribbon too. For the pearl edging I used the craft glue.
HTH.
