Personalize a Candle

I'm always finding new uses for my scrapbooking supplies. I used number rub ons to give this candle a date. You can find the rub ons at most craft stores or scrapbook stores in the sticker section. All you do is cut out the letter/number that you want and rub it onto your surface with a popsicle stick. You will be able to tell when you've rubbed enough, as the sticker backing changes from opaque to clear. Just be careful not to rub to hard to cause an indentation to the candle. Because the rub on is very thin, once it is on, it is hard to tell that it's not part of the candle.

If you want to you can mix your antiquing medium with Candle and Soap painting medium to antique the candle. I didn't do that to this one, I don't want all my candles to look identical in color, so I left this one the cream color that it was. Here are the supplies needed....

The cost of this project is minimal. The candle was in a four pack that I purchased on clearance after Christmas and I already had the rub ons. I think this would also work well if you chose to use words (kindness, faith, love, etc) or even phrases on the candle. Pull out those scrapbooking supplies and make them prim!
