An intimate, romantic, soothing atmosphere is best created by candles placed around the room. It doesn’t matter whether you like decorative, scented or plain ones, lighting by means of small flames is always unique. If you’re candle lovers, you’ll surely agree with us. Today we’d like to save a few bucks and introduce a trick that can turn even an ordinary candle into an original piece.
Create your own design
The best thing about the whole trick is that you can create your own design with the help of a few simple tools. To enhance your candle, take any picture or photograph you want to transfer onto the candle. Also get some wax paper; it shouldn’t be anything complicated and it should match the dimensions of the picture or photograph. So the only things you’ll need are these three tools:
- A picture or photograph of your choice
- Wax paper
- Hairdryer
Hairdryer to the rescue
The first thing you must do is place the wax paper over the photograph and press both pieces together onto the candle. Now the most important part – call in the hairdryer. Turn it on to a hot setting as usual and get to work. Heat the wax paper with the photograph until you notice that the design you’ve chosen begins to transfer onto the candle.
Unique gift
In this simple way you can create an original decoration or even a gift for someone you know loves candles. You can choose any design; there are no limits. It will catch every visitor’s eye and everyone will ask you how you made something like that.
Another tip for an unconventional photo gift
But candles are not the only items suitable as gifts or decorations. Have you ever ironed wood? We believe you probably haven’t. Yet it’s a great idea for someone who loves wooden accessories. The procedure is just as simple as when making a candle with your own design. In this case too, choose your own picture or photograph, find a nice, flat wooden board and attach the photograph to it with tape, picture-side down. Now start ironing. Peel back a little and check whether the design has transferred sufficiently onto the wood. If so, remove the photograph and you’re done.
