If you are transferring a quote or something else that’s all black, any light color candle would work.
NOTE: I printed out a photo and a quote – you can transfer anything you can print! If you are transferring a photo, use a white candle. Even if you are only making one candle, it’s a good idea to ask for a few copies of the photo so you have backups in case of a mistake. If you want to make multiple candles, you can have multiple photos printed out on the same piece of paper. Tell the copy shop to print the photos at 2×3 inches each. You should be able to email them your photos and ask them to print them for you on plain paper with a laser printer. Since most people don’t have laser printers at home, the easiest thing to do is call your local copy shop. This will not work with a standard photo print that’s on photo paper, and it also will not work if you print it on an inkjet printer. This technique would even work to make memorial candles.įor this project to work, you must have your photo printed onto plain paper from a laser printer.
