| Phyllis, no to making the candles. I am lucky to be painting on them! LOL. I make the soap, but that is pretty easy and fast. I have no desire to make the candles, but I love painiing on them. It's better to use unscented but you can use scented. Either way, you need to rub them down with rubbing alcohol before paint will adhere to them. Also, the alcohol get rid of the oily scents as well.
The paint I use is Enamel acrylic paint. Folkart, Liquitex make an enamel acrylic paint for glass and ceramic. Works perfect for candle surface. :D Regular oil and acrylic will not work. I know you didn't ask for all that LOL. |

| Thank you Texas! Yes, they were liked very much I am proud to say. What I suggested to them is if they don't want to destroy the painting by burning the candle, is to burn the top down some and then set a tea candle inside and burn that instead. Just replace the tea candle when it's gone. That should preserve the painted candle :)
Happy New Year! |
