Paging.....SonicStef

Have you found a glue yet that does not wrinkle with the votive candles and the vellum? I have tried so many and they all do the same. I did one with the parchment paper and that didn't wrinkle but I really do like the was it looks better with the vellum....nothing seems to work. Was wondering if you had any luck or any tips to help? Thanks

I decided that Im going to use double sided tape. I didn't really experient much with the glue so Im sure there are lots of glues that will work but the tape does a fine job and is less messy.

I have seen these at a restaurant Julians in NYC. They use double stick tape. Seems to work just fine!

What does Julians use them for?

You know I bought the double-side tape and said to myself.....this isn't going to stick with the heat so I never tried it. I guess it works though. Thanks..I will try it. When the candle is lit it looks much brighter with the vellum then the parchment paper. Do you put the tape on the whole thing or only on the ends of the paper? Thanks....again!

Re: Paging.....SonicStef

that's what is on their tables. little votives w. the vellum. they don't write on them of course...the vellum goes up really high though - so it looks like lighted columns. it's very pretty.

i know this has been asked before, but do you think they'll be hot to the touch? Do you used votives or tealights?

Re: Paging.....SonicStef

Im using the tealights and it doesnt get too hot. It gets warm (like a cup of coffee) but not to hot to touch or hold from any angle.

I just putting a length of tape where the vellum wraps around.

Re: Paging.....SonicStef

so it's a tealight in a votive holder. Is that right? I might entertain this idea for the placecards cause i havent' come up w. anythng else....I'll do a search for the details.
