Cutting the tissue paper to these dimensions will help to ensure that there is at least 1 in (2. 5 cm) to fold over each edge of a piece of printer paper.

If you want to print in color, make sure to check your printer’s settings before you begin. Make sure to consider the size of your candle when you choose and resize the design. You may want to avoid using tapers as they are too narrow to print a noticeable design on them.

The wax side is the shiny side of the paper.

You could also try wearing an oven mitt while you hold the wax paper in place, but this may make it more difficult to keep a good grip on the wax paper.

Remember to keep the wax paper taut as you do this. Otherwise, the image may shift and end up crooked.

Repeat the process to create more printed candles!
