Debbie73 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I am wanting to shrink wrap some 3x3 1/4" square candles. I have the shrink wrap sleeves for my round candles and really do love them, but they don't work with the square ones. I'd prefer something that is similar to the sleeves, does anyone know where I might find some?Thanks!Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flickering Dream Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I shrink wrap my 3 x 3 inch square pillars using a 6in shrink wrap bag that is 10 inches tall. I just trim it to the height I need prior to putting the candle in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie73 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Thank you very much Flickering Dream! Do you seal the whole candle up or leave the top and bottom open? The sleeves I bought from all white candles leaves an opening and I bought the dust covers for the top, just wondering if I could possibly use them for the square ones. I'll just have to experiment! Thank you again! Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flickering Dream Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Deb, since I use a bag the bottom is already sealed, I use a heat gun to shrink it all the way around and it is just a little tricky keeping it from bunching up on the bottom. I use a square plastic cover for the top that I made from a clear sheet used for an overhead project. I just punch two holes in it with a paper whole puncher.

Georgia Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I have 4" sleeves that work great for the 3" square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
