Hi everyone!!!!!!!!

This one is simple as can be. Create at least one Candle that you can use as a decoration or as a gift this holiday season and a matching matchbox. The files I used can be found at:

Thank you ladies!!!!!!!!! I really didn't feel good in that video so I apologize It's not the greatest but hopefully you can at least see how to do them if you need to.

Christy, I just watched the video but forgive me if I'm being really dense, but do you remove the paper after heating it or does it just melt into the candle? You can see I've never done one of these. They are beautiful and I really do want to try one. Thanks for all your work on this crop and hope you're feeling better lately.

Here's mine. I wanted it to match my tags/ornaments. I cut out the suit and the words and did not use a wrap around. Hope this is ok. It worked. I will be making more of these!!!! Fun!!!
Thanks Christy for teaching me something new. Oh, couldn't do the matchcover, I don't have matches. LOL Maybe I will think of something to do instead if I do I will edit this again.

Looks great Sheri! Smart idea to tie into a theme.

Phyllis, the paper will absorb the wax and become part of the candle.
