I started making these back in the 80's, now I also use fabric with LED candles. 😉

The flower design is beautiful on the candle. I have never seen this done before.

Another beautiful idea for any season! Thank you Marta you’re are always inspirational! Hugs and love! ❤️ 💕

Excellent , made it so easy for us beginners ,,,,so grateful to people like u who arent selfish to educate others,,,its yur way of leaving us wit yur own footprints

That was really amazing. I've never seen that technique been done before. It turned out beautiful, even with the little imperfections. This is a fabulous gift idea that I'm certainly going to try. Tfs.

Wow! Simple yet stunning! Thanks Marta!

I like this method because there are so many napkin designs out there to use. For your candle's mistakes, an easy fix is to take a candle of the same color, hold it above the sides of your candle and drip the wax down the sides of the candle all around it and in front of your design. You can also pull colors from your design and add drips of those colors to the top. Another easy fix for the design is to hold textured fabric over the whole design, then use your heat gun to melt the texture into your picture, then remove it right away. This will leave a beautiful matte finish over your design and any mistakes won't be noticeable. If you've ever seen expensive professional photos printed with a finish over them similar to this you have an idea of what it will look like. This is a great technique to use over pictures even without mistakes! It gives them an interesting texture that differs from the rest of the candle. I use this method a lot when I make people candles that have country themed homes, for people who work with fabric, as well as when I make candles for a new baby. Many people use the baby shower candles as decorations. They don't want to burn them. So, let's say for a girl, I will put a picture that matches the baby's room, a baby, praying hands, and the name and birthday of the baby on the candle then embellish it with appropriate items to match. The possibilities are endless. Because you do so much mixed media you would excel at this. You only need to learn to melt wax onto the embellishments instead of using glue. 🙂

💖I wondered how this would work, I thought they were decoupaged, but this way it is part of the candle! Thank you for showing the "opps" it helps in two ways 1. It shows there is always a learning curve 2. It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

I just love this idea!!! The candle looks beautiful!

wow! I didn't know that's how it was done. Looks beautiful!

That is absolutely gorgeous!!! I would love to try it. Thank you.

This is amazing! I used to actually carve the design onto the candle and then paint it! Craft I picked up while living in Colombia

To those who ask if the paper would burn, a candle this size melts, it doesn't burn, only the inner core, so highly doubt that it would catch fire.

Wow! This is a stunning idea! I'm so impressed!!

I dread tutorials with a passion. Never watch tutorials but thanks so much for multitasking. This is so cool

Wow I absolutely love this and I will give it a try!

Back to one of your older videos! :-) I didn't know this technique and definitely will try it out! Thank you for sharing the process and pointing out the little mistakes you made so we can try to do it beautifully ourselves! Have a nice week! Love from tiny Belgium xxx

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Wowzer that is so beautiful, I actually have a candle making kit and moulds and may just try my hand at this. Thank you Marta

Eine schöne Technik. Vielen Dank für das Teilen.👏😺😻👍🎄

Wow that is so beautiful love this and plan to try as need new candle for Christmas centerpiece

Absolutely lovely. I was touched that you were willing to share the little mistakes that are part of learning any craft. Like another lady here in the comments section, I saw this done with wax paper. A napkin wasn't used, but an inked up craft stamp on white tissue paper. If we are able to use our craft stamps, it gives us a lot of different options for design. So, wax paper or parchment, napkins and /or ink stamped tissue paper? Any experience anyone has on this gratefully received. Now I am going to subscribe!

💖I love this technique!!! It came out beautifully..I have been having the idea to decoupage candles..and now I can make them so lovely 💕💕thank you for sharing!

Great tutorial! I always wondered how people decoupaged candles.

Thank you for such amazing tutorials!

That's cool watching the wax melt and seeing the color change of the napkin.

Simply gorgeous!!! I've never seen that technique before and always thought it too fiddly and messy to try. I absolutely hate fussy cutting especially with flimsy napkins, but this I will try for sure!!! Huge thanks and big hugs as always!

It looks very pretty,thanks for sharing!

Brilliant I like your honesty it helps us so much while we are learning and making mistakes etc! Thank you for sharing honestly with us! Best wishes 🎅

I always wondered how they did that. Thanks Marta!

Looks very nice and well done. Thank you..can't wait to try again .x

Very helpful! Thanks for the tips.

Utterly beautiful!

I have seen this done before but not with the parchment paper. Thank you for sharing. I want to do these for Christmas next year for my family.

This is beautiful, Marta, will look beautiful on your Christmas table,,,,xxxxx🌲☃️🎄☃️🎄

Love it Marta. On camera, the flower looks really dimensional - as if it is still living inside the candle and is blooming out of it. Stunning. Happy accident as Mr. Ross would say. Good girl yerself! Love the way you're not afraid to try OR record your first try. I can't even get to trying some things let alone record a thing!!

Wow! I bet these items are at the dollar store and can make some beautiful gifts for just a few dollars! Great idea, Marta!

So pretty! I also like that it's not perfect and looks handmade😉😀. Thank you!

Beautiful and fab video thank you so much. I like that you were honest about imperfections as so many you tubers portray false perfection. Well done ✨Louise and Emily ❤

Very pretty And thank you for the thorough explanations!

In love it ! I've a lovely robin serviette I can use !!! Soooooooo loving all your wonderful Xmas ideas x😊🎄🎁🎄🎁

I have always wanted to try this but had no idea how to do it. I will give it a go. Thank you for your video.

Beautiful like always!

Thanks so much have been wanting to try this 😁

thank you so much for sharing . i am very inspired by the technique.

This is so stinking cute!!!! I love that you never cut out the parts where your mistakes are. Makes you seem more human. Simple to make and your tutorial was on point as usual!! TFS!! ⛄XO🌲XO🎅XO🎄XO🎁XO❄

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this. I tried this once using a tutorial from the internet. The tutorial said to use waxed paper rather than parchment. It turned out OK but, of course, the waxed paper is bonded to the candle over the napkin and it does not look as lovely as yours. I will have to try making another candle using parchment paper. I used a hair dryer when making mine. Maybe it doesn't get as hot as the heat gun? I had no problems with melting the candle. Just be sure to keep the heat source moving over the candle.

Great for gifts for mother’s day. Thanks for the demonstration

I simply loved this ❤️

One lady said to use the oven. She was doing seashells. I got all the things needed, yay! You did great.

Fantastic, thanks for showing how to do this.

Its Beautiful thank you for the info and tips! Thank you very much for sharing!! Hugs Liz x

Thank you for showing that mistakes happens. And if we don't get it right at the first, it doesn't mean we cannot keep on trying. Nice!

Beautiful imperfection. 😍

Yes! Great info. Thanks

💝💝 I have seen those candles at botiques and craft fairs, but I never knew how they did this. Thank you for the tutorial. I love your candle, mistakes and all. Handmade art is not supposed to be perfect. 💝💝

Well done! Beautiful

Thank you for sharing where you said it got to hot and etc. I have never done this but surely want to give it a try. New subscriber.

Beautiful!I love the napkin you used! I got to do this a couple times in home league! So much fun. Now that I have a heat gun I can do some at home! Thank you for sharing! God bless! Love hugs and prayers! O:-)

Well done and I’m so glad You correctly said serviette and not napkin as many do a napkin is made of fabric people a serviette is made of paper !

Beginners! Yay, thanks.

Love this. It was like watching magic happen as the napkin merged into the candle.

Pretty design. I did something similar where I printed a design on tissue paper and used wax paper because that's how I had on a lil white candle. I used a hair dyer as well. It's tricky but I love it, so I'll never burn it. Nice to see another approach to making those :)

Beautiful!

OMG so beautiful!!💗💗💗💗 I really want to try to make my own candles, because I always buy them but it's not that fun 😊😋

Love it!

Marta, have you ever made shadow box? I think it would be a very interesting idea for Christmas 🎄 🥰😀♥️

What a great idea! I wonder if you could do the same with dried flowers. BTW, I love how you change the lights on the table. Almost every video, you have different Christmas lights. What a wonderful touch!

Beautiful work

Loved it 😍😍

Very pretty!

Beautiful thanks for sharing♥️

Very nice job for first try!

Hey Maremi I was inspired to do your method and mine came out perfect, I used two methods a hair dryer and then a tea light candle with a spoon method both turned out really well. Thanx so much 💓👏🏼 - Hannah UK

I have never tried candles. Beautiful.

Lovely! Thank you.

Wow easy but soooooo beautiful Nice 👍🏻 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

So very pretty and a great ideatfs

So many new things to try! You are truly outdoing yourself! What ever will I do? There are only 14 days till Christmas! So much fun to be doing these with my friends!

just be careful when burning the candle. Accidents has happened when the napkin caught fire when you burn the candle. Better to use transfer sheets designed for candles. But to just decoration this is amazingly beautiful 💙♥❤

Preciosísimo... Muchas gracias por tu trabajo y enseñanza...el Señor te bendiga grandemente muchos besos desde Sevilla España

Great explanation love ur voice💖💖💖

Came out cute.

Very pretty Marta,

Precious!

This turned out so so pretty. I will definitely try. I have decoupaged on other things but, not the candles. I have 2 questions: do I need to put a primer before sticking the napkin? Will I be able to burn the candle or its just for show? Thanks so much for sharing.

love it

Very, very pretty

Just beautiful love learning with you hugs. Could you go over the happy accident to melt it?

NICE!

Beautiful

Nice to c....u r presenting it well...

This is the best thing i discovered in crafting. Candles cost $30 a pop, now. I remember those Yankee candles were like $9 not so long ago

Lovely result and excellent tutorial with a honest approach. I wonder how the napkin is affected when the candle burns? According to some comments the napkin can also burn, so perhaps using this technique only for decorative purposes? Thank you!

very nice!

Lovely

look beautiful - you used a beautiful flower napkin - tfs patrizia

¡Precioso y muy bien explicado! Your English is very good. Say "Hi to Geño. :)

So lovely! Can u tell me what size candle you used?

Love this. Fabulous idea. Quick question Marta, would a hairdryer suffice instead of a heat tool? 🎄🎅✨
