Candle Stamping

[Sportmom02]

Has anyone ever used Mulberry paper instead of tissue paper? I want to print on tissue paper but when I put it thru the printer is keeps tearing. HELP!! It is a Christmas gift for my niece..THANKS

I have never tried the mulberry papers on a candle. I have done several candles using the tissue paper and never used my printer. I have always stamped and embossed the image on the tissue paper and then adhered it to the candle. Hope this helps you.

If you really want to print on the tissue, try taping the ends to a piece of regular printer paper (away from the printed image) and see if that helps it run through the printer better. I would tape all along the 8 1/2 end to ensure that none of it snags. Hope this helps!

Instead of tape, I'd use repositionable adhesive such as the Hermafix dots. I'd worry that tape would get heated too much in the printer and make a sticky mess. I've used the Hermafix dots before (to print on a small piece of vellum) with no problem.
