Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by choosing a candle in a glass jar. Remove any stickers or labels and ensure the glass is clean and dry.
  • Next, take the tissue paper and cut it into 1-inch squares. Use as many colors as you would like! Set them aside.
  • Grab the foam sponge brush and apply a thin layer of mod podge to the glass jar. Place a cut tissue paper square onto the mod podge. Overlap the squares repeating until the entire jar is covered.
  • Place an additional layer of mod podge over the whole surface to seal the tissue paper. Allow a few minutes to set.
  • Let’s cut the printed photo to fit the size of the jar. Place a thin layer of mod podge on the back of the picture and place it in the center of the jar.
  • Press the picture to be sure it sticks. Place another thin layer of mod podge over the top of the photo to seal it.
  • Allow the completed candle to dry for 24 hours.
