Candle greeting card is a creative, non-traditional technique for using a candle. It is used to make greeting cards, seasonal mementos and more. Because it provides the perfect focal point of light and color as well as sweet scents, this technique can give your projects a warm touch of elegance that’s usually not possible with other techniques. There are many different ways to use this technique, so experiment with candles until you find your own favorite way to create!
The tips of making candle greeting card
1. Choose your favorite color!
It is best to choose a white or light colored color as the basis for your project. A darker tone can sometimes be too overwhelming, so use what you like and what you think looks good in this technique. The color can be matched with the rest of the project, or it can stand on its own. The possibilities are endless! For example, using green and gold tones would make a beautiful card for a spring or holiday season, or using red tones with white and blue would create a modern card for any occasion during the year.
2. Add a solid color or pattern
A candle can provide the fabric of the card. All you have to do is choose a shape, wrap it around the candle and fasten off with a glue gun. If you don’t have one, simply use some wax paper and embellish with markers, glitter, beads or sequins to jazz up your creation! If you still want to paint the background of your project green or another color that goes well with your message, it’s okay – but always remember to add a base color of white!
3. Prepare the candle holder
The best way to add depth is using strong colors. This can be done through one color, two or even three. It all depends on how much depth you want. Using only one color is something as simple as a square or circle and wrapping the candle around it to get the desired effect. Any type of shape can be used, and you can even go ahead and make your own shape. The possibilities are endless!
4. Use ribbons and bows to attach the candle to the holder
Simply wrap a ribbon around the wick of your candle so that you can fasten it to your holder. You can also use a bow for that same purpose, if you find that more appropriate for your project.
