Stamps: Serene Snowflakes
Paper: tissue paper
Ink: Not Quite Navy
Accessories: 1 3/8 Circle punch, copy paper, Heat tool, Crop-a-dile
To make these, I stamped snowflakes on tissue paper. To punch them, I laid the tissue paper on copy paper so the punch would cut through. Sometimes, the punch needs a thicker layer to be able to plow through! I then punch a small hole in the center of each for the wick to stick through. Finally, I used my heat gun to melt the tissue into the top layer of wax. I did find out that the cheaper tea lights look better than the expensive ones. Who would have known?
Remember, you get one of these gifts in the Christmas in Suamico Event at the Suamico Ale House, Saturday November 6th, from 9-3. Come check it out if you are in the area!
Happy Stamping!
So cool!! I think I may even try it with my kids class...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the hint about copy paper to help the punch through the tissue. I've have problems with it "chewing" and not cutting cleanly.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of candles!! To punch out the circles, I layer 4 layers of tissue paper, then sandwich it between the copy paper to punch them out, and then I leave the copy paper in place until after I have punched the center holes for the wick... I cut out over 100 that way in about 20 one night...
