DIFFICULTY RATING

STEP 1

STEP 1 To make this beautiful gift, measure the height and circumference of a candle. Our candle measures 8cm high x 8cm diameter. Draw the measurement on paper, cut it to size and then draw a simple design on the paper. This could be traced from some stylish wrapping paper or adapted from a fabric design, or wallpaper. When your drawing is complete; tape the paper round the candle.

STEP 2 Use a thick needle to pierce the design and then remove the paper pattern.

STEP 3 Now set the Dremel Engraver on speed 1. This lightweight tool is so simple to use even for beginners. Make sure that you hold the tool as upright as possible, place the tip in position and engrave the design. There’s no need to press hard, just imagine you’re drawing over the candle with a pencil. Remove excess wax by rubbing the surface of the candle gently with a kitchen roll or tissue. Finally, use candle paint to decorate the engraved pattern. Carbide Engraving Point 9924
