Someone else mentioned using cardstock, but the cardstock would soak up a bit of the oil from the wax. I tried both ways, and they both work, you use a whole punch for the wick to go through - you can even go to a stamper store and buy a fun, different whole punch, star, heart, whatever for the wick to go through. But, what worked best for was to have the film rest directly on the glass - was much easier, because I didn't have to have it fit the glass exactly - it could hang over the edges and still look good. The part that would hang over the edge - people can see well and flip over the film for a wiff of the candle. HTH, Vanessa
