Colorful DIY Candle for confirmation

Are you looking for unique confirmation cards or a particularly beautiful candle for your confirmation? Find out here how you can create a beautiful candle decoration with simple materials and just a few steps, as well as extraordinary cards to match. These step-by-step instructions will show you how to conjure up a real highlight using candles, cards and paper and a little creativity.

Coloured circles made from fibre silk
With the "Circles" punching template, you can make coloured circles in different sizes and colours from fibre floss in no time at all. The stencil is suitable for all conventional hobby punch- & embossing machines. 
To design the candle, stick the cut-out circles together with a little handicraft glue. Arrange the circles however you like best! Decorate the circles with a decorative stamp motif to match the occasion.

Designing confirmation cards
Glue the punched-out circles to the card and envelope using handicraft glue. Play with different arrangements to find the best design. Cut a strip of vellum paper and use the stamp to place a message or motif of your choice on the paper.
Fold the strip of tracing paper around the edges of the card and stick it to the inside of the card to hold it in place and create stability. It will give your card an elegant touch.

Decorate the candle
Now place the fiber silk on your pillar candle. To ensure that the fiber silk adheres perfectly to the candle, stretch a piece of baking paper tightly over it and heat it carefully with an embossing dryer.
Caution: As soon as you see that the wax grease on the surface of the candle is liquefying, you should switch off the dryer. A short cooling phase is necessary before you slowly and carefully remove the baking paper. This ensures that the fibrous silk sticks securely to the candle.

Make a track out of wooden blocks
The block track is a special highlight of your craft project. It’s a particularly decorative and unique gift wrapping.
Start by stamping “For Confirmation” on one block.
Next, glue two blocks together along the long, narrow sides to form the base of the track. On this base, glue two more blocks upright along the edge so that the taper candle fits snugly between them. Let everything dry thoroughly before continuing.

Making a Candle Gift
Place the candle you made earlier into the brick track. Tie the candle to the bricks with a “ cord .” The “ cord ” not only holds the candle securely in the track, but also serves as a decorative accent.
Add a stamped design and your message to a gift tag. The tag adds a personal touch and enhances the entire decoration. Tie it to the “ cord, ” ribbon wrapped around the blocks.
