DIY Embellished Candles & Votives

Items Needed:

Matches
Scissors
Metallic Tattoos
Water
Moist paper towel
Glass votive candles

Step 1: Cut out your tattoo and remove the plastic covering

Step 2: Apply face down on surface of candle or votive
Step 3: Hold in place and apply pressure with the moist (not soaking wet) paper towel. Inch by inch move the moist paper slowly along the tattoo moistening the entire surface
Step 6: Slowly remove the paper backing from the tattoo. Be careful not to touch the tattoo yet. It must dry before you touch it or it may tear

The shoot also incorporated candles wrapped in a metallic embellished ribbon. See the step by step “How To” video below. be sure to check back tomorrow for the entire Art Deco Inspired Shoot!
