Putting glue onto the candle

If you're using a collage of small images, especially abstract images, you can use the "brush and glue" technique I used with my Stained Glass Votive Holders - just brush the glue onto the jar and place the pieces of paper.

However, if you're using one large piece of paper, or one large image, like I'm using here, you'll want to use a different, much lighter glue technique.

Take a glue stick (I love the Elmer's Blue Glue sticks) and put 6-8 vertical stripes of glue on the jar - just enough to hold the paper onto the jar.
