Preparations
Cut a square of Acetate to approx 3.5" by
3.5"
Gently score a line approx 0.5" up from the
bottom of one side. This will act as the securing fold to the CD
Select an appropriate Peel Off Sticker as your
design.
Stick this in the centre of the acetate sheet,
with the base of your design between 0.25 and 0.75" above the
scored line ( or ensure that the centre of your design is approx
1.25" above the score line. This is approx the height of the
Tee Light Flame)
Fill in the blank areas of your Peel Off Sticker
with the glass paint, or glass pen, and allow to dry
Stick a candy tray over the centre hole of the
CD. This will hold your Tee Light in Place. Many Tee lights come
with a lose metal or plastic cup. This can be used instead of the
Candy Tray.
Method
Once your paint is dry and your Tee light holder
is secure over the centre of the CD
Fold the acetate sheet at right angles along the
scored line away from the design.
Secure the acetate sheet by the folded tab to the
CD. Ensuing that the acetate is 0.5 to 0.75" away from the
edge of the Tee Light.
Add extra detail to the Acetate sheet by sticking
on spangles etc
CAUTION: Never
leave your burning Candles unattended. Do not place your Creation in a
draft or near flammable objects.
Note:
Pebeo Porcelaine 150 paints and Pebeo Vitrea 160 Glass Paints are designed
to be baked in an oven for a hardwearing finish. The paint will dry under
normal conditions and is perfectly suitable for this project. After all
You won't be washing your decoration in the Dishwasher! Will You ??!!
