snow Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I'm still trying to get this right. Anyone find any dolphin stickers for seashell luminaries? I did a copy of the ones Donita sent, put them on transparent paper and they would not stick to the candle, any ideas? I have some orders for these and now can't get the right dolphins, HELP!! TIA...Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubs Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I've never done luminaries, but could you find some clip art online and print it off onto a special type of paper for your project? If so I'm sure we could find cool dolphins online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindys Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I printed pics off line and inserted into my cane. Like a photo cane.Its a PITA, but the out come is worth it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donita Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I melt sticky wax and brush a tiny tiny amount on the back.....then use a warm, not hot, knife to push it onto the candle. Then overdip. What are you trying to do? Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cetacea Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 dip them in wax and stick them on---be careful to smooth out the airbubbles. Then overdip the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 I made a copy of the dolphin stickers onto transparent mailing stickers, they looked really good, but they would not stick to the outside of the seashell luminary. I tried using beeswax painted on the back of them but they wouldn't stay. Any other suggestions? I also used the warm knife to press them on, it was strange that they wouldn't sticke, because I had no trouble with the dolphins that Donita sent. OH What to do!!!

Donita Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Try some white glue. Tacky works well. Donita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
