flutterbye Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I am having a really hard time finding any info on how to do this..I'm wanting to shrink wrap my pillars where just the top is left open like a perfect circle around the edges. However, I'm not really sure if i'm going about it the right way. I'm leaving a little bit of extra space on the open side, but when I shrink it, it gets all uneven or jagged looking. I'm using 100 gauge pvc from cierra candles. Is there a certain kind of technique or type of shrink wrap to use. Please help, I've got 150 pillars to wrap for an upcoming show.

Vicky_CO Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 What you are getting at Cierra is not going to give you that look. These are close I think to the ones Trish had in her co-op way back whenhttp://allwhitecandles.easystorecreator.com/items/candle-packaging-and-candle-shrink-wrap/list.htmOr you can buy tubing and cut it yourself if you are in a hurry or need smaller amounts.

It's a softer material and shrink's wonderfully. They also have the disc's for the tops of your pillars. I wish someone would have a co-op on these from this company. The others IMHO are way to stiff material wise making them harder to shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could really use those. I currently display them naked at shows, then bag and tie as they are purchased. This would be easier and look more professional.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course I would love the tops too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I love the way they shrink. I got 4" for my 3" squares and they even shrink up beautifully. 'course I'll have to go see Trish when I want more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
