Thanks Bonnie. I’ve got candles everywhere with my family members staring back at me. Ha ha. Have a wonderful day.
I did this year's ago, I was having a home interior party and did some candles with the pictures from the book. They were a big hit. The lady that did the party talked me out of them, lol
I loved this idea when I saw it. Really fun to do. Glad it brought back good memories. Thanks for watching.

I am new to your channel, great video, how do I make the black box. the band?
Hi there. If you’re talking about the black line around the monogram candle , I created a border the size of my candle and inserted a text box with my letter in the middle. You might have to highlight the letter text box and “ bring it forward” to see it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and welcome to my channel.
Hi Suzy, new to your channel, the candles are fab. Is that a photoshop software you are using to create the writing and text boxes for your pictures. I was looking to see if you mentioned it already in comments but can’t see it. Thanks a million
Hi there. So glad you liked this. I have a Mac computer so I just used “pages” it’s like “word” on a pc. Nothing fancy. I measured the candle to figure out it’s dimensions. On the computer , I drew a rectangle , to represent the candle size. I then placed a text box and my photo”copy and paste” into the rectangle. Print, cut and adhere to the candle. There are lots of free fonts you can download for something more specific to your design. Hope this is what you’re looking for. Thanks for watching.
Did you make the band from your computer. Not sure about how you did the band at the bottom. I will watch again to better understand. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Yes, I did it on the computer. I created a black box frame to fit the height and circumference of my candle, then added my picture to fit within the frame. Print and then trim keeping the frame, then line up on the candle and heat to infuse. I hope this helps and happy candle making.
Thank you for the great video! I have a question.... I have done this with a candle and it looked beautiful when it was done... completely smooth and seemless. Then after it cooled for about a half hour, it ended up drying with wrinkles in it? Almost like little bubbles. Have you ever come across this issue, and if so, any idea what my issue is?
Hello, I haven't had that happen. If the bubbles are raised, not adhering to the candle, perhaps allow more time with the heat...so the tissue infuses more into the wax of the candle. I hope this helps.
Great tutorial. I use this method, but how do you do writing on the finished candle as I am not an artist. Thank you.
Hello. I used my computer to create the lettering in a box the same size as the height and circumference of the candle. I printer on the tissue paper as seen in the video. Cut along the square and apply to the candle. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial. Can these candles still be lit?
Hi there. I used pillar candles , I light them but blow them out before they melt to the edge. I do this so my candles burn down the centre without reaching the transfer paper layer. It really depends on the type is candle you are using. I hope this helps thanks for watching. Btw the LED wax candles turned out great too!
nice video Suzy!
I was wondering, can these candle be melted? Or would the tissue paper light up and cause a fire?
Hi there. No problem lighting the candles and using them as you normally would. The tissue paper imbedded in the wax but just on its surface and it won’t ignite. I loved making these, design ideas are endless. Thanks for watching.
@@suzyrebelo I'm glad to hear that you liked doing this project! Thanks for the quick answer, and have a nice day!
Where can I get tissue paper? From Motsepe embroidery Art and project ❤I love your work
Hello there. You can find tissue paper in dollar stores or the gift wrap section of stores that sell gift bags. Ie Walmart etc. thanks for watching. I very much appreciate embroidery work. ❤️
Hello what application do you use on your computer or laptop to make and add changes on the image please and thank you.. I love your videos
Hello. I have a Mac computer so I use graphic or pages to create these designs. You can also use Word , I start by creating a box the size of the candle , you can add a border to the box. Then I create text boxes for words or letters or images I want to add (highlight your text box and use the feature “through” or “no wrap” so the text boxes float freely on the page. For layered images and text “ use bring forward or send back to organize text the way you like. Ie if you wanted text over an image. I hope this makes sense and helps. Thanks for watching.
What printer do you have? Suggestions?
Hi there. I have an HP office jet pro 8710. Perhaps yours is similar. I make sure to allow the ink to dry before applying the tissue print to the candle. Hope this helps.
Can u print the image with a laser printer, or does that have to be ink printer?
Hi there. If you can print an imagine on tissue paper then it will work. It’s the tissue paper that melts into the candle and holds the image on the candle. I loved making these snd still do. The designs are only limited to your imagination. The monogrammed candles go over really well as gifts. Thanks for watching and sharing.
The tissue paper is crinkling on my wax candle. When I use a photo, it makes the face unclear, when it is crinkly. Ive used a blow dryer and heat gun to see if it makes a difference. I set the heat gun and hair dryer to medium, so it doesn't melt the candle. Does it matter what side of the tissue paper is printed on.
Hi there. The printed or ink side of the tissue paper should be facing out. The backside of tissue paper next to candle. Get an oven mitt to protect your hand and hold the tissue paper taunt , in position, on the candle . Use the blow dryer on hot , a few inches from the candle , and watch as the wax melts …the tissue paper becomes see through , the image should be clear. Allow the candle to cool for a few seconds. Turn the candle around and repeat until the tissue paper is secured on the candle. Try to start from the centre out to the sides. This should help make it smooth and clear. Try not to over heat the candle or you may melt too much wax and it may make the image cloudy looking. Hopes this helps. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks for watching !
Can you melt wax over a glass vase?
Hello. I don’t know about melting the wax on the vase. However, while I’ve never done it, I think mod podge would work better on glass. I’ll have to try that sometime. Thanks for watching hope this helps.
Can i ask what setting did you use for printing, as i tried on tissue paper and the print wasnt this vivid with my epson eco tank and had bleed around the design
Hi there. I have an hp 8710 ink jet printer. I print on “ plain paper best” setting. Once I print I allow to fully dry. I also purchased tissue paper for gift wrapping. Check your tissue paper to make sure it doesn’t have a different, waxy , finish on one side. Just a thought. I’m trying to figure out why your design is bleeding. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching
I bought the tissue paper off amazon, has no wax finish on either sides. So im extremely confused as was trying to make a christening candle for my son and the wordings looked so messy
Hello, I really am confused too. If it's printing out messy, perhaps there is too much ink coming out or the paper is dragging through the printer. I'm not sure , but can you can change the printer settings to use less ink? instead of "plain paper best"- try "plain paper draft"? I have no idea if this will work, just a thought. How frustrating for you..i hope it works
Does It work with every type of printer? Laser and Inkjet both?
Hi there. My printer is a hp inkjet printer. I really don’t know if it works with laser. If I am able to confirm it I’ll let you know. Thanks for watching
@@suzyrebelohi, I just came across this video and had the same question as this person.. were you ever able to confirm if it works with laser printers? TIA for your help. Keep up the great videos 🥰
Hi there. I have read that you can use a laser printer. However, there are so many models and brands, just to be safe, I would go onto your printer’s manufacturer web page and ask the question. Hope this helps.
what kind of tissue paper, mine keep tearing not sure if mine is to thin
Hi there. I think I bought the tissue at Walmart. It’s just regular tissue paper used for wrapping presents. I got it in the gift bag section. I was very careful folding and gluing it to the letter stock paper. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@@suzyrebelo ☺️ thank You
Will the tissue paper start burning when the the candle reduces slowly??
Hi there. Another viewer said the same thing. My candles burned a channel in the middle. It didn’t burn to the edges. Therefore, it depends on the kind of wax, type of wick, burning time , thickness of candle etc.. the only thing I can think of to suggest is , use a test candle to determine how it will burn first. Perhaps you already have one in use. If it burns uniformly, without burning to its edge, then make a note of the brand. Btw, I also did this on wax “led” candles , turned out really nice too. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
@@suzyrebelo thank you for your reply
Hahaha... I wondered why you kept posting "gift" tissue because I thought that would be a given... until one of my assistants said "Oh...I thought she meant tp or kleenex...thank goodness you told me, what with toilet paper a commodity"
Just wondering Would you consider making stuffed Grape leaves?
That’s funny, I love this craft. I think you’re psychic or I’m psychic. Not 5 minutes ago I was thinking about stuffed grape vine leaves. I was randomly thinking that I should do a video on it once the wild grapes are in season at the orchard. Well now I have to do it. What a funny coincidence.
@@suzyrebelo You remind me of my Husbands family, they were Sicilian, You have that genuine character. I know youtube creators have heavy competition and the YT censors arent helping, and I TRULY like to hear when someone loves me, but these folks lay it on thick. Actually, i should probably let that go what with our country turning into a combined brain collapse lately, a little cheer hurts no one.So having spewed that, I feel I am in my moms or my MILs kitchen when I watch you. You are truly a special treat that puts me in a different frame of mind.
my little brother studied his craft in europe and he had his own flair for everything food related. He made stuffed grape leaves for me. From inception to completion the air was glorious smelling. Those grape leaves are $12 a jar now at Specs, but when you open the jar there are so many you could never use them all. He did tho. I loved them the next day stuffed cooked and cold.
He was a standup comedian seen often on comedy central, he was a 'cook' at Surf Sushi in Big Sur where he would order a pizza to be delivered while at the counter creating a meal. His boss told us, it really made the guy crazy. But Mark was only 27 so...
He died in a freak surfing accident. At his funeral we had a lot of people grabbing one of us and asking if by chance he left a recipe they loved. Every request was for a different item. It was so funny to hear my sister and mom say 'ME TOO! someone asked for the turkey dressing.
He made a thanksgiving stuffing that was so rich you couldnt eat much at one sitting, so folks would grab doggie bags, or better yet, they just ;happened" to have a tupperware bowl with them.
so i was thinking that recipe has stood the test of time, and none of us gave it up. but my mom and sister died recently so its time to share it. I honestly thought about you, i would love for you to try it out. Not important too do a video unless you feel like it. But you may find it more fun to keep it close to the vest. Whatever.
if kenosha found out theyd be causing an internet backup followed by a few stern words as to WHY I DID THAT.
My MIL always said it was tradition to hand over your most beloved recipe to someone you admire and respect. It makes you immortal because everytime someone breaks bread with you the recipe and its history are paying homage to that creator
Thanks so much, we all love you here at BDBQ Reborns!
(OMG there it is, I complain and then do it myself!)
Wow! I'm so honoured you are sharing all this with me. My mother showed her love & affection by feeding anyone who entered her kitchen. I'm sure she's not alone in this, I now do the same too. There are beautiful memories to be made by simply sharing meals. I really value your MIL's tradition of passing on a recipe. Yes, I would like to try making your brother's recipe. I'll be harvesting the wild grape leaves, and preserving in brine, when in season - around late summer. I can make the stuffed leaves then. Now you have me curious on how these taste! Thanks again for you lovely note. Have a great day!
@@suzyrebelo I cant believe you read all that. I havent been out for over a year except the dr. I am a covid long hauler. Every once in a while I find someone genuine and I go off on verbal diarrhea.
do you know how to create Kefir grains? I would like to create a good continuous starter rather than use the powdered which last for maybe 9 replenishments
Lately trying to learn everything on being self sufficient. Thats our world now.
I am looking so forward to your grape leaves. Dianne
Dianne. If viewers are taking the time to share kind words with me then I’m going to take the time to respond. It’s a two way street. We can inspire each other. On kefir, I’ve had it and like it but never made it. Another great video idea that’s going into the memory vault. Thanks again for your support.
I tried this but when I lit the candle and it got down to the transfer it began to burn the tissue paper
Hi there. I’ve never seen that happen. My candles don’t burn out to the edge, unusually it burns out a channel down the center. I suppose it depends on the wax. Sorry it didn’t work out.
Does the transfer melt down with the wax or does it still stand like a shield if that makes sense?
It doesn’t melt, it is stuck on the outside layer. I checked my candles and they are thick pillars made of paraffin wax that are clean burning. Sometimes the outside edge gets soft and curves but it doesn’t burn all the way. It could be the thickness of the puller and maybe even how big the wick is too. Sorry. I don’t why it did that.
Oops I meant pillar candle
