1 candle with photo
Such a gift is suitable if you want to remind someone from relatives or friends about a joint event or a trip that took place last year. To embody the idea, you will need: a candle in a glass cup, a wide adhesive tape, scissors, any plastic card, a bowl with water, as well as a laser printer and printed with it on ordinary paper. It is best to use a photo with a bright background and a light candle.
Print on regular paper using a laser printer the desired photo, taking into account the size of the candle. Cut the scotch strip on it so that it covers the entire image. Scroll through a plastic card all irregularities and lower the tape into a bowl with warm water. Leave for a few minutes. Then remove and carefully remove the paper. On the scotch will remain a very thin layer with the image. When he dries, it will become a sticky again and you can apply it to the candle.
