Instructions in 9 steps Everything is self-made. Your candle made out of melted and coloured wax pellets. Fold, cut and glue the special linen-textured paper to get a gift box. Use stamps and ribbons for the decoration.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Sellotape, wooden skewer

And this is how it works:

Step 1

For the candle glass holder, melt the wax pellets according to the instructions and drop the dye tablets inside. Fix the wick in the glass holder by using the adhesive wax buttons.

Step 2

Lay the wooden skewer crosswise onto the glass rim and fasten the lower tip of the wick concentric by means of some sellotape. Pour slowly the coloured wax being now liquid in and let it cool down completely.

Step 3

After cooling down, decorate the glass with a matching sticker.

Step 4

By means of the Envelope Punch Board, fold a wrapping with the linen structure paper according to the instructions in the size of 8.5 × 8.5 × 8.5cm.

Step 5

You can always fix it with the double-sided adhesive tape.

Step 6

Finally, cut two strips, 5 × 30.5 cm and 2 × 30.5 cm, out of the scrapbooking paper. Fold the strips around the wrapping and fix them only on sides. The wrapping can still be opened from the top! That way you get some more colour diversity in the created wrapping.

Step 7

Punch out of the white card an oval shape by means of the puncher and stamp afterwards a text on it. Make two holes in the stamped oval shape by means of the punch pliers.
