great job! It came out wonderful. When I made my first candle it was so much fun. OK, it is still fun! :-) I haven't used regular paper yet. Now I am going to try because it would be so much easier. Thank you

It was fairly easy. It took a little longer than I thought with the hair dryer but it worked. I thought the heat gun would melt the candle so opted to try the dryer first. I have not burned one of these though so I am adding a warning for decorative purposes only just in case.

I have drilled hole where the wick is and added a tea light -- it works really great -- then you don't have to worry about burning the candle -- there were posts on this subject.

I used the heat gun and it works well as long as you don't do it too long. But I haven't used any of the candles for anything but decoration. I tried to sell some but I didn't sell one (and I really thought it would be the one thing that would sell). I still like making them.
