Halloween Candle

I created this candle to use as decoration at a harvest party we will be having tomorrow night at our church. This is my first try at decorating a candle.  I found this great tutorial on how to decorate a candle at Whiff of Joy.  You can see that tutorial by going here.   The image I used, Pippi, is from CC Designs.  I stamped the image onto a piece of white tissue paper.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils.  After coloring and cutting around the image I added it to the candle. I have a couple tips to help add the image to your candle. In the tutorial it says to use a heat gun.  My first tip is if you do not own a heat gun you can use a hair dryer in it's place. That is what I have done here.  Just be careful that you don't melt the candle too much.  My second tip is that you can hold the image in place with a piece of wax paper.  Just firmly hold the wax paper around the candle with the image in place underneath.  Make sure the waxy side of the paper is down and then add heat. 

After I added the image to the candle I finished it by decorating it with three orange rhinestones and some orange baker's twine.  I also added some crystal stickles to the wings.
