Does it have to be an inkjet printer?

This is such a creative idea! Definitely going to be trying this for all the fall candles!

I was wondering, is it safe to burn the candle? I love the idea. Your imagination is your palette.
Kim
Yes! The tissue paper is essentially IN the wax, and it causes no fire threat!

Thanks for this … I did this a few years ago for my grandaughter’s Christening. I had printed and made the invites, envelopes etc myself, and printed the same ‘teddy’ onto the tissue paper – and added her name and date of Christening…. and melted it with the dryer until it was ‘one’ with the candle .. so pretty and so simple ! Everyone loved it ..

Hi there I have done this several times however I don’t use the wax paper, do you need to use this to seal the candle or can the candle be made without?
Kim
If you use the wax paper, it will seal a layer of wax over the candle and make it look like the image is actually part of it. If you don’t, it’ll just be paper on top of a candle. Either way works!

Can This be done with any kind candles or does it have to be a certain kind? I.E. Paraffin, beeswax, soy, etc?
Kim
I would think it would work just fine on any wax candle with a smooth outer surface. Otherwise the texture would be disrupted by the melting heat.

And can they be scented candles?
