Debk Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hello,I am wanting to paint a candle with wax but not grubby style. I just want a thin layer of brown colored wax with spices springkled in it and brush ovr the white candle to look rustic. Is there a method of mixing wax with a thinner or some other way to keep the wax from getting to thick while painting? Hope someone can help, been searching for a long time. Thanks all. deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyl55 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Deb, you could always dip your candle in the brown wax. Not sure what type of spices you are thinking about but be cery careful. You don't want the spices catching fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Thanks sheryl, I did not know if you could paint over soy or just paraffin. I saw somewhere where this lady was brushing over a white candle unless she may have dipped it first then brushed the top to make it look burnt on top. At any rate, it looks smooth and like it had cinnamon or coffee in the wax. I wish I knew how to send a pic on here to show you. I bought one of the candles a while back. I could call her shop but not sure if she will share her secret, lol. The candle was finished off with a ribbon at the top and a wood/painted hang tag (sheep). If you know how I could send a pic on here let me know, and I will send you a pic of it. Thank you so much. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
