I used this French newspaper image from The Graphics Fairy. I printed it onto clear Avery label paper. I trimmed the image down to fit each candle and then simply peeled and sticked. I love these labels because they have a see-through quality to them that might be hard to make out in the photos. Here's a close-up:
Best part is once again I had everything I needed. I'd like to do some large pillar-size ones for Halloween. Now back to flipping through my PB catalog!

The candles look fabulous, will definitely be trying this!
ReplyDeleteI just got my new PB catalog today.I love so many of their things but the prices are way too much. I swear I think they copy the bloggers. Did you see the vintage frames, whew. We sell these for $29 to $35 and they sell them in the hundreds!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I love your take on the candles. They look great.

I have made these before but not with the newsprint idea. I think I will be making some more. I am here from your other blog and am now a follower of this one too. Thank you for hosting a giveaway. I am off to post to my blog now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration.
