I used double-sided tape for the vellum paper, but be careful if you make a mistake & have to take it off.

Re: Untiy Candle Help....

what are you wanting to glue to the candle??

ribbon
vellum
paper???

we didn't use a unity candle, but i did make a memorial candle

i used vellum and ribbon.

the vellum went all the way around, the way a lable goes around a bottle of water. so i just glued it to itself with a gluestick. i then glued the ribbon to the edge of the vellum. i ended up not gluing directly to the candle.

Use hi-temp instead of low and make sure you hold the ribbon or vellum down for a few seconds before you let it be. If worked on mine so hopefully it will work for you too. Good Luck!!!

Craft glue worked for me and I also used colored pins in our wedding colors to put on bows.
