★ DAY 4: stamps on candles
Claudia, a friend of mine, hosts crafty afternoons for kids. She showed me her October craft project and I was over the moon!
She taught me how to use your stamps to decorate candles. I was so excited, I told my crafty friend, Birka, she should make a video about it. I don't make videos and hers are always so fun. So, THANK YOU, Birka!!!

- you can stretch your stamps in a fun way
- kids could help to make these (just the coloring and cutting part!)
- you can decorate your home or give them away as a present
- you can make gifts with a theme (candle, gift tag, card,...) all with the same stamps
★ HOW TO:
- Watch Birkas video HERE on the Create A Smile Blog. There's one in German and one in English! :-D
★ SUPPLIES:
- stamps
- white tissue/wrapping paper for crafts (Seidenpapier)
- white candles
- markers (I used water based ones from Tombow)
- scissors, a heat gun
!!! IMPORTANT: Please, never leave burning candles unattended!!!
Some people recommend to use these candles only for decoration!
★ WHAT MORE:
- you could make Christmas gifts with your candles
- decorate match boxes and add them to the gift
★ HOW TO for the "chalk board" match box:
- cut a panel from black cardstock that fits your matchbox
- stamp the sentiment (from Create A Smile) with Versamark on black cardstock and heat emboss it with white embossing powder
- glue the panel to the box
Thank you for stopping by! Have you seen the other posts from my series?
