Every Christmas I try and make a hand made gift for certain people in my family. I didn't have much time this year so I decided to buy an inexpensive candle and make custom labels.
I choose the candle flavors depending on my family members taste in scents and bought white label paper. The paper I bought was
Avery® White Full-Sheet Labels for Inkjet Printer.
This is a project you can really make your own. I made some frames that matched the pictures I had chosen and went from there.
How To Make It:
1. Pick out your favorite pictures and put a creative boarder around the picture or a saying on the bottom like "Merry Christmas". You can do whatever you would like here and make it "yours"
2. Print out the picture and cut it out. Make sure it is the correct size to fit the candle. You don't want any bumps under the label.
3. Once you have the Picture cut out and the back side peeled off time to lay the Picture on the candle. Start from one corner and work your way diagonal. This prevents and air bubbles from forming under the sticker. If you do get an air bubble you can work it to the side and press it out.
Wha la the easy peezy hand made gift is done. this is great because when people open the gift they think it is a candle then they look closely and it has their picture on it and it means so much more!
