How to Make Hurricane Candle Shells
Wednesday August 13, 2008
Previously, I've featured Hurricane Candle Shells as a component in Photo Candles or even New Year's Candles.. Alas, New Years seems even further away than Autumn. But it is actually hurricane season in the U.S...so I guess I should be making some Hurricane Candle Shells. Most people use them inside on mantles or table tops, but they make really lovely outdoor candles too. (They can withstand hurricanes, remember, so a breezy summer evening should be no problem at all!) Drop in a plain or even a Citronella Votive Candle and you're good to go.

How do you make photo decals stick to candles. I have applied the water slide decals and sprayed with clear Krylon after decal positioned and dried. Candle turns yellow after a couple of months. I don’t know if the Krylon does it or something else. Cannot get decals to stay on candle without the Krylon. Suggestions please
Is the whole thing turning yellow? Or just the decal part? Or is the candle yellow, but under the decal part not yellow.
My intuition is that it’s the Krylon. I’ve always just embedded the photo into the shell, using a paper printed photo and the method I use on the site.
I need to make a unity candle for a friend and she wants words on the candle and flowers in the candle can you tell me how I do both/
I purchased the waterslide decal paper and it did not stick t the surface of the candle. what kind of flowers do i use and how to make them seen on the outside of the candle?
