Got CITRASOLV?

Okay…no big secret that I love CITRASOLV and The Graphic’s Fairy. Today they came together for some simple makeover magic.

The Before:

The After:

The how-to’s:

Step 1:

Gather your supplies:

• Citrasolv (I buy mine at alice.com)
• plain white tissue paper
• the laser-printed image of your choice (remember to reverse it if it has text!) …the image I used can be found here.
• a cotton swab (you know…a q-tip)
• hard work surface covered with a piece of cardboard

Step 2:

Transfer your image to tissue paper.

• Place your image ink side down onto tissue paper.
• Dampen one end of cotton swab with CITRASOLV. (you only need a little!)
• Cover entire image with CITRASOLV.
• Use the other end of swab to lightly rub the entire image until transferred to tissue.

Step 3:

Transfer tissue paper to candle.

• Cut out your image.
• Remove any protective covering from candle.
• Position image on candle, using straight pins to anchor.

• Grab your handy, dandy hair dryer.
• Using the high heat/low speed setting blow hot hair onto image.
• The image will magically melt into the candle.
• Remove the pins as the image starts to cling to the candle.
• Use your finger to smooth the image as it transfers…be careful…the candle may be hot!…you can also use a popsicle stick or old gift card to smooth the image.

Step 4:

Stand back and admire your personal piece of art.

 

Until next time….

 

Blessings,
