This is one technique that I have yet to master. It’s a lot trickier than this very talented lady makes it appear! Just a little weekend viewing to inspire you, courtesy of YouTube. If you enjoy this video, check out YouTube Digger for more cool YouTube stuff.
Wallpaper candles are a lot of fun and really easy to make. They make terrific housewarming gifts if you know the colour scheme of the new home. The candle in the picture is one I made using an angel-themed wallpaper cutout - I pasted one on the front of the candle and one on the back.
You’ll find paraffin wax in the canning section of any supermarket or department store.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Cut a width of the wallpaper border to wrap around the pillar candle, leaving a maximum of half an inch overlap. Using white craft glue, glue the wallpaper to the candle. You can sit the paper at the bottom of the pillar, or centre it in the middle - the choice is yours. If you’d rather, you can cut shapes out of the wallpaper and glue those on the pillar candle in any pattern you like. Get creative!
