Wink Printing a picture on a candle

Ever wondered how to get a picture on a candle? Here is what you do.
1.Tape a piece of tissue paper to printer paper
2. Then print out the picture
3. Let ink dry for a minute or two
4. Carefully remove printed tissue paper off of printer paper
5. Cut down the tissue to what size you need
6. Wrap it around the candle
7. Wrap wax paper around the tissue real tight
8. Use the heat gun and gently melt the image into the candle.

I taught my neighbor how to make these and now she sells them to friends and family. (for $12) Here are the ones she made for me as a thank you for teaching her how to make them.
