Question

How do I transfer pictures to LED candles?

Community Answer

You'll need wax paper, tissue paper, regular paper, and a hairdryer. Print design on normal paper, copy on tissue paper, then to wax paper over it, and finally heat it with a hairdryer until picture is melted on.

Question

Can I use crepe paper instead of tissue paper in method one?

Community Answer

Yes, but it will look more crinkly, because tissue paper is smoother than crepe paper.

Question

How can I attach a design to a candle?

Community Answer

You could use blue-tac or Sugru because they are always sticky. They never spoil and you can attach and detach anytime, anywhere.

Question

Is wax paper the same as grease proof?

Community Answer

No. Wax paper is used as it melts and creates a clear film to hold the image in place, but grease proof has no meltable substances on it to seal the tissue paper in.

Question

What if I get a photo candle as a gift and want to remove the photo?

Community Answer

If the candle was done using the tissue paper method, try heating it with a hair dryer or heat tool and carefully peeling away the image.

Question

Will this candle still be able to melt without any trouble?

Community Answer

No, when I tried it the image caught fire. The tracing paper stays attached to the candle, leaving it flammable.

Question

Which printer is most suitable for this purpose? Should I use a laser or inkjet printer?

Community Answer

You can use either but the laser works better for this purpose, possibly due to the fact that inkjet seems to use more ink so the paper becomes wetter. This is just my personal experience. There are a lot of videos and tutorials on YouTube where people have used inkjet printers with no problem.
