During our get togethers, I've been fascinated to watch one of the members making beautiful decorative candles. She has graciously sent me some photos of candles she's made and explained the process.
From Lynne: I used Mod Podge (non flammable) glue to adhere paper and tissue to the candle and followed with many layers of Mod Podge.
Experience proved that the candles that had been completely covered in paper burned nicely down the center.
Candles that had papers glued here and there with spaces in-between burned, but the edges of the paper would bend toward the flame and may not have been as safe to burn. I'd use those for decorative purposes only.
Many thanks, Lynne!
(This one's my favorite!)

They are beautiful. Does she use scent in them?
I don't think the ones pictures here are scented, but any pillar candle can be used.
