Decorate your candles in a tone-on-tone design using simple stencils.

You'll Need:
Vanilla candles

Newsprint for protecting surfaces

Instructions:

(2) Clean candle by rubbing alcohol soaked cotton balls on candle surfaces; allow to dry.

(3) Mix paint with candle painting medium. Center stencil on candle and press till adhered firmly into place on candle surface. Dip sponge brush lightly into paint; remove excess paint by dabbing brush onto newsprint. Paint stencil openings; remove stencil carefully.
