This is especially true if you’re using a heat gun. Too long and you run the risk of melting the side of your candle off. The idea is to melt the wax just enough that it is absorbed in the tissue paper.
You’ll be able to watch the tissue paper literally disappear like magic as the wax turns it translucent.īe careful as you’re melting your wax that you don’t hold the heat in one spot too long. As it melts, the wax will seep into the tissue paper and adhere it to the candle. Using a sweeping motion, go over your image with the hot air. Hold your hairdryer or your heat gun a few inches away from your candle and turn it onto the highest setting. You don’t need to coat the whole piece, this is just to hold it in place This is entirely optional.ĭabs of glue on the back of your design and gently press it onto your candle. To give my candle the appearance of being extra old, I wadded up my tissue paper and then smoothed it out before moving onto the next step. The thicker printer paper gives the tissue paper stability as you’re turning sharp corners or cutting details.) Okay, now that I’m done waxing poetic over my candle ( groaaaannnnn! I’m here all week – tip your waitress!) let’s get back to our DIY.Īfter the graphic you just printed has had a chance to dry, use your scissors to cut around your design as close to the edge of the printing as possible (I found it’s much easier to cut out if you leave it taped to your printer paper. Third, it flickers and the little candle flame wiggles and I’ll be honest, this thing looks really…real! I have had it on my desk at work and have had other people come up and ask me how I’ve managed to get our boss to let me have a real candle (they’re a big no-no in our office.) When I show them it’s not real, they’re pretty blown away by how good it looks! Once you’ve flattened your paper out, lay it down on top of your printer paper and tape around all the edges. The smoother your tissue paper is, the easier it will In order to be able to print on it, you’ll have to first cut out a piece about 1/2″ (I speak from a place of experience…trust me on this) smaller on all sides than your printer paper.įolds in your tissue paper, gently run a warm iron (not hot!) over it toįlatten them out. Because tissue paper is so thin, you can’t just run it through your printer without it scrunching up and really mucking the insides of your printer. Once you’re happy with your graphic, it’s time to print it out on your tissue paper. Make sure your printer is set to landscape, the image is centered and you have turned OFF the “scale media to fit” option. If you decide to use my file, just know that it is already scaled to fit the 6″ tall 3″ diameter pillar candles described above.

I pulled a bunch of runes and appropriately magical looking characters up online and photoshopped them along with some old Salem Witch Trial woodcuts into a single image sized to fit my candle.

Yeah, I got this.īecause I couldn’t see the entire candle, I decided to take a bit of artistic license with the project and come up with my own designs. Hmm, it’s cream colored with some brown squiggles.Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of pictures that show the whole candle, but I did what I could with what I found. For this project I went online and tried to find the best possible photos I could of the actual black flame candle in the movie. Wax candle in the same color as your electric candle.Electric wax candle (I used this one from ).To read my full disclosure policy, please go here. Today we’ll be making an electric version of the famous Black Flame Candle from Hocus Pocus and I promise, the only thing this candle will raise when lit is the amount of light in the room.Īnd as always, before we get too far into this adventure, yes, this post contains affiliate links. Well, in that case, this DIY project is perfect for you! But what if you’re not a virgin (no judgment), it’s notHalloween, it’s not a full moon, you’re not in Salem and you’re not chanting anything except “Damn, it’s dark in here…sure wish I had some light…”?
