  1. Stamp 3 individual large star swirl stamps and 4 small star swirl stamps with purple ink onto tissue paper. Cut out around each star/swirl image without getting too detailed.
  2. Use a very small amount of glue stick on the back of each stamped piece to tack them into position on the candle. You may want to begin with one at a time.
  3. Cut the wax paper into a 6”x16” rectangle. (The wax paper should not be taller than the candle and wrap completely around the candle with enough left over to form a handle). Wrap the wax paper around the candle, holding the ends together to form a handle. The wax paper should be tight against the tissue paper images.
  4. Heat up the embossing gun and moving quickly, waving the nozzle over the images, slightly melting the wax and absorbing the tissue paper. This process takes only a few seconds. Slowly peel the wax paper off the candle while the wax is still warm.
  5. Tie the lavender dot ribbon around the top of the candle and wrap the 1/8” wide grosgrain ribbon around the bottom, overlapping the ends and securing with a pin to prevent slipping.
  6. Remove ribbon when burning. Do not leave candle unattended when burning.
