I treated myself to some candle paints and some stencils the other week, and this is what I got up to, on some cheap candles from one of the pound shops.
and here they are in close up:

Using a stencil - first view |

third view |

masked with tape for the stripes |

Using stars from a stencil |

splodgy effect on the other side |
Using the stencils on the curved surface was a bit interesting even when they were taped down. so I think I need larger candles or smaller stencils! I also think I would have been better using a sponge with the paint rather than a stencil brush.
Having done the first three, I then went in search of any other candles around the house that I could paint!
|
A burgundy square candle with stencilled swirls |
|
created a mask from a die, and painted this candle - because of the colour of the candle the wording didn't
show up that well so over-painted it that with white and added a few splodges to the candle |
|
Reverse side - another mask cut from a die, and before it didn't show up that well, so it was over-painted with white
and a gold centre stippled on |
I only bought four colours - think I need to treat myself to some others.
