A project from our live show Thirsty Brush - Join Emma for some messy craft broadcast 11th Feb · 11/02/2022
Create a decorative wrap for a pillar candle by watercolouring parchment paper and stamping it with large floral designs. The heat from the candle melts the wax slightly, embedding the parchment and creating a beautiful, dimensional effect.
Dampen parchment paper with water using a spray bottle.
Apply watercolour paint to the damp parchment, allowing colours to blend and move naturally.
Allow the watercoloured parchment to dry completely.
Stamp the large sunflower and blooms design onto the watercoloured parchment using a dark ink pad.
Wrap the stamped parchment around a pillar candle, positioning it where you want it to sit.
Cover the parchment with greaseproof paper to protect your fingers.
Hold the greaseproof paper in place and carefully apply heat from a heat tool to the back of the parchment.
Watch as the candle wax melts slightly and the parchment embeds into the wax, creating a permanent, dimensional wrap.
Allow the candle to cool and set completely before handling.
