If you love candles like I do then your going to want to give this a try. This is so simple to do and your going to be amazed.
The supplies you will need are:
Candle
Napkin( with print if your choice) Scissors
Iron
First thing is to cut out your design from your napkin
Once your design is cut out of napkin seperate the sheets of the napkin. You want just the top layer of the napkin.
Now you will place your piece of napkin onto your candle. Be sure to place it evenly and where you want it to be permanently placed. Then you will take the iron and rub over the top of the napkin. I have my iron set to the silk setting or low setting. I will rub the iron lightly over the napkin.
You will notice that the napkin will just melt into the candle. I am using white and cream candles. I’m not sure how a colored candle will work. You piece of napkin will melt into the candle and be permanently onto your candle. I love how these turn out and you can find a variety of napkins in your local stores.
Would a hair dryer work in place of the iron?
This looks so easy. Thanks for sharing
Looking for splatter screens also from my local $ Tree
Love, love all your ideas and your followers. I am so glad to follow you and get all your tips.

Love this idea
I love all the fun things you make. I never can catch you live but I have watched all of them . Do you tell the date and time you are doing a project? Thanks for being so sweet! P.S. maybe you should make a necklace to keep your glasses around your neck and then you will have them all the time LOL

If you get wax on iron how do you get it off the iron
I first learned to do this with a blow dryer. I think it’s easier.
I have done this with a hair dryer.
You found the napkins with the thankful and family already on? where please/
Can you do this on battery operated candles?
It looks like you have wax candles and the battery operated. Am I seeing that right? If so, how do you apply to the non wax ones?
Best what can be in the world is Family !
I’ve made these using rubber stamped images. Please be careful when burning them! When they burn down to the paper (sometimes) it will burn. I recommend that you burn down to a “tea light” size well and pour out the melted wax and replace with a battery tealight when it cools. Just a suggestion 🙂
I have made these for years. Even personalized and with pictures!! Use a heat gun….so much easier. Also you can stamp images on tissue paper and transfer them onto candles or print images on tissue paper and transfer them.
I use my embossing heat gun, I put parchment over the image and heat till I see the colors filling the parchment…key is low and slow…keep it moving or your candle melts..they come out so pretty.
Yes, I use my hairdryer.
Again love your ideas!
Let it cool it pops off. You really shouldn’t get glue on iron
I ruined my iron melting the napkin on to the candle. Every time I heated up the iron afterwards it smelled like wax. The wax turned to liquid and got all over my ironing board cover. What a mess!
We printed designs on our computer printer using tissue paper taped to freezer paper (for stiffness). Then cut the design out of the tissue paper, placed design on candle and used a hair dryer. You can use pillers, votive or even tapers.
Maybe a heat gun too.
I used a heat gun but you have to be careful to hold it back from the candle as it will melt very quickly and can misshape the candle and it will wrinkle
I put a piece of wax paper between napkin and iron to keep iron clean.
Did you also do artificial candles? Looks like there was a battery candle in your set.
Oh I cant wait to get out and get some candles and napkins. Dam virus. I love these!!!!
Nancy,
Yes I use a lot of artificial candles. They are so cute to me and I love them.
These napkins were actually from Marshalls in their home section!
I applied the napkin the same way with both. You just need to make sure you dont hold the Iron on too long or press down too hard!
I hope to try this some day. Looking for good candles that will not brake the bank
Dollar Tree has them!!
I can’t wait to try this!!
I would so love to have fall napkins. Thankyou💜
