Easy Christmas project

It is very busy time before Christmas and quick Christmas projects are very handy. I am going to have a Christmas lunch with three ladies we are doing some volunteer work together. I decided to make small gifts for them - these decorative candles with candle plates.
All you need - a candle, some napkins with Christmas design and a hairdryer!
Tear out or cut a picture you want to fix to your candle. Stick it to the candle by rubbing it by a fingernail. Here you see how it looks - not perfect yet!
Then use a hairdryer (very hot), so that wax starts to melt and slightly seep through the paper. It could be very hot, so use a kitchen glove, or place the candle on some kind of stand. Now you see no boundaries, paper is covered by wax and become a part of the candle itself.
To make it perfect polish the candle with soft cloth.
If you have time you can make a nice candle plate with the same design and make it a set.
