Making candle with decoupage technique

Making candles with decoupage technique is a creative and fun way to customize your candles and add a personal touch to your home decor. Here are the basic steps to create candles with decoupage technique:

Materials:

• Plain candles
• Decorative paper or napkins
• Decoupage glue or Mod Podge
• Scissors or craft knife
• Paintbrush

Instructions:

1. Choose the plain candles that you want to decorate. It's best to use white or light-colored candles so that your design stands out.
2. Select the decorative paper or napkins that you want to use for your design. Make sure the paper is thin and pliable, as it needs to conform to the shape of the candle.
3. Cut out the pictures or patterns from the paper or napkins that you want to use for your design. You can use scissors or a craft knife to create precise cuts.
4. Apply a thin layer of decoupage glue or Mod Podge to the area of the candle where you want to place your design. Be sure to cover the entire area.
5. Place your cut-out pictures or patterns onto the glue, arranging them in a way that looks pleasing to you.
6. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles with your fingers or a paintbrush.
7. Apply another layer of decoupage glue or Mod Podge on top of the pictures or patterns. This will act as a sealant and help protect your design.
8. Allow the glue to dry completely, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
9. Once the glue is dry, you can use sandpaper to sand the edges of the design so that it blends into the candle seamlessly.

Your decoupage candle is now ready to use or display! You can use it as a decorative item or light it to enjoy its beautiful design. With a little bit of creativity and some basic materials, you can create unique and personalized candles that will add warmth and coziness to your home.
