Stamped Candle

You may remember this post from Trinity's Lalaloopsy party last year. Well, guess who had another Lala themed party this year?! Her mom lucked out because now there are actually decorations with Lalaloopsy on them. Everything at the party was super cute. I didn't want to show up without a homemade gift, so I decided to make Trinity something that no one else could buy her...a Lalaloopsy candle with her name on it! Candle making is very easy. You can do it one of two ways: either stamp on a piece of tissue paper or run the tissue paper through your printer (taped to a regular piece of paper) -- for this project, I printed the image. Then cut the image out, getting as close to the image as you can. Position it on the candle and then wrap a piece of waxed paper around the candle and pull it tight in the back. Hold the candle by the waxed paper that is left over in the back and use an embossing gun to slowly heat over the image. It will take 1-2 minutes, but gradually you will see the image magically melt into the candle. Be careful to not overheat. Slowly peel away the waxed paper and that's it! If needed, you can heat over the image slightly to fix any places that the tissue didn't completely melt.

  1. Not too long ago hublot replica has started delivery recent designs with a 3-dimensional hologram-encoded sticker on the caseback that features a floating tag heuer replica emblem for the best in the watch case's reference quantity, which can be printed in black. The majority of the stickers on counterfeit Rolex Mens watches are possibly reliable green or a repetitious rolex replica uk instead of a hologram. A number of the Cheap Rolex Mens watches produced in replica watches sale from 2006 on possess a reliable green hologram on the caseback. Prior to 2002 the reference number was printed in gold along with the hologram didn't have the breitling replica. At present, counterfeiters are trying to even more carefully match the real hologram sticker. The rolex replica sale stopped using the hologram around 2007 and new Rolex Mens watches are not being transported with it.
