Okay, the candles are all different colors/scents because I got them at the dollar store and the selection was limited (but the label covers the entire front anyways). Also, you may notice that some have a white strip on the left side and/or bottom where the printer got misaligned. I'm gonna get ribbon or something and cover that. It's like 9:30 at night so that's going to have to wait until tommorrow when I can go to the craft store. What do you think? It's my first (and last) big DIY project :)

I'm not sure what you mean. The candles are votives and they were already in the glass. I got them 2 for $1 :)


Thank you everyone :) I'm so excited! I'm going to michaels to get some glitter or something to cover the little white parts.

They look awesome! How did you get the sticker (or what did you use)..to be flat on a rounded surface, without bubbles?? We are doing votives, and wanted to personalize them, but we just can't figure out how we want to do it. We were going to etch them, but I can't find a stencil that I like, so we are just unsure of what to do..but yours look great, will you share your secret??? :)

Thanks!

Well the 'stickers' are actually shipping lables, size 2x2 5/8 and it came with software to get them to print properly. As for the bubbles.. some do have tiny bubbles - the first few I did actually. What I did was center the sticker and ran my finger over the center several times and then rubbed gentlyfrom center outward doing one side at a time. Just make sure your fingers aren't too oily! I rubbed the design off of one label lol. It took me about 4 before I got it right but they look very nice even with the bubbles - the paper is slightly thick so the bubbles dont' show much at all.

This is a great idea! And they look wonderful- I think the different candles look pretty and I am sure will smell amazing! I am having the hardest time picking candles b/c of the scents- I love them ALL!

Thanks everyone :) I got my labels at Office Depot, they're made by Avery. I think I paid $12 for them but maybe you could get them cheaper at Wal-Mart.
