Yes the sparkle is all down to you. I did one with Mylar and one without and the difference was amazing. Thanks for your great idea

I did both designs exactly the same way,1 layer of solve 1 layer of sparkly organza and then Mylar on top then just pressed GO!!! It was easy to cut around the organza with sharp embroidery scissors and then I just wet the soap a little and stuck the design on and pressed it down and especially around the edges. The candle was a little trickier so I used a clear household glue and just scratched the candle a little where I want to place the design and it was fine. The hot fix gems would not stick to the candle so it just placed a couple on the design itself. I think next one I do will have a matching ribbon round the base. Please let me know if I can help any further.

suelyn7 by suelyn7 16 Jul 2012

Gn to it with a little pressure around the edges. The candle was a little trickier as the design need to be glued on and I had some clear strong household glue so I used that. I just scratched the candle a little where I wanted to put the design.

suelyn7 by suelyn7 16 Jul 2012

Also the hot fix gems wouldn't,t stick to the wax so I just added them to the design. Also I think I will add a matching ribbon to the bottom of the candle.

By making this you show us how to make a great gift without spending lot of money. Maby we can set a name on the candle and a datum. Love this :)
