How to make personalized candles [cheap + easy handmade gift!]

Learn how to make personalized candles with your favorite photo on them using an easy packing tape transfer! This gorgeous handmade gift can be made in 15 minutes for under 5 bucks.

Recently I was browsing a photo gifts site and saw cute candles that were personalized with photos on the glass. I thought it would be a great gift idea for kids to give grandparents…until I checked the price and found out they were over $30 each! I like presents from my kids to actually be from my kids and $30 is out of their price range (plus who wants to pay that much for a candle anyway?) So I did some digging and figured out how to make our own personalized candles for – get this – less than five bucks each. DIY for the win!

And there are no expensive supplies to buy: all you need is a color copy of your photo and packing tape. Yup, that’s right, packing tape.

How to make personalized candles

With less than 15 minutes of effort you can transfer a photo onto packing tape, which you can apply to the glass of a candle like a sticker! The tape adheres perfectly, even when you burn the candle for hours.

Learn how to make gorgeous personalized candles with your favorite photo on them with an easy packing tape transfer. Easy handmade gift idea only takes about 15 minutes and costs just a few bucks!

I used glass jar candles from Walmart that are about 4 inches tall and cost around $4 each. Packing tape only costs a few dollars and color copies are usually around 50 cents, so if you are making a few of these you can easily put them together for five bucks each.

Packing tape transfer instructions

NOTE: readers have let me know that this technique works much better if you use a photo with a light colored background. If the photo has a dark background the tape does not get very sticky again, so please keep that in mind before giving this project a try. Alternatively, if your photo has a dark background you could print it on sticker paper, as described in this glass photo block post. 

Start by using your favorite photo editing software to size your photo to 2 inches high and 3 inches wide, and either have it printed on a color laser printer or make a color copy of it (this is important: an inkjet print won’t work!) If you don’t know how to size your photo, you can send it to a print shop and just ask them to print it out at 2×3 inches. Remember, you want this printed on plain paper, not photo paper or cardstock, and it must be a laser print. If you want to make multiple candles, you can have multiple photos printed out on the same piece of paper.

NOTE: I printed out a photo and a quote – you can transfer anything you can print! If you are transferring a photo, use a white candle. If you are transferring a quote or something else that’s all black, any color candle would work.

You will also need heavy duty packing tape (Duck or Scotch brands work great – avoid the super cheap dollar store kind).

Instructions

Pull off a piece of packing tape and tape it down across your photo, making sure the tape completely covers the photo.

Use a credit card to smooth the tape down. Go over the tape a couple of times to make sure it is well adhered.

Fully submerge the photo in a bowl of water and let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Take the photo out and peel the paper off the back. It will leave some white paper fibers, which you can remove by rubbing it gently with your fingers.

It can help to dip the tape back in the water a time or two to get all the white paper fibers off.

When it looks completely clean, lay it face down on a towel and allow it to air dry. When it’s completely dry, the tape will be sticky again, and you can smooth it down on the glass for a personalized photo candle.

NOTE: readers have let me know that this technique works much better if you use a photo with a light colored background. If the photo has a dark background, try using sticker paper as described in this post instead.

Gorgeous personalized photo candles!

So pretty!

        So the photo should be printed on plain old printer paper? Because I used an actual picture and I can’t get the paper to peel off no matter how long I’ve soaked it (@2 hours worth until I gave up). The key thing is to use paper not an actual picture

          I love this project and got a really good result using an inkjet printer, regular printer paper, and clear gorilla tape.
          You have to print the picture on inkjet- an actual photo wouldn’t work.

        still did not work and noted where it was clear in the photo, I noted there was not any fuzzy feeling from the paper, but the darker part was very hard to eliminate this feeling. It did not peel off at anytime. Had to resoak and resoak to get residue off and then this still did not eliminate this residue. I then tried a lighter weight paper which help some, but still could not peel this off and had to work at it.

      It just needs to be a laser/toner based print on plain paper. So any copy shop should be able to do that for you. Good luck!

Due to times sake, I put it on any way. It is adhering okay.. do you think I could use modge podge to reinforce it? Thanks

I’m not sure what to recommend other than making sure you are following each of the steps, including using one of the brands of tape I recommend (Duck or Scotch) and making sure you use something like a credit card to smooth the tape down well on the photo. Anyway, sorry again.

If you happen to have any spray adhesive, you could give the “supposed to be sticky” side of your tape a quick spray with it and then it should adhere. Sorry again you’re having trouble!

        that’s what I did. I printed with a laser printer. My photo had more dark to it which is probably why it lost stickiness. So I sprayed sticky glue to it and it adhered just fine.

      Since Autumn says an inkjet printer won’t work, that means to make a color copy directly from your picture to a LASER color copier, just as you would print something from your computer (such as a JPEG) to a LASER color printer.

        Thank you! It works fine with pictures that have white or light backgrounds and sayings! The picture I wanted on there was a family portrait outside in the woods. Definitely wouldn’t get sticky. Too dark. But just to let you know I improvised and cut what I had a little smaller then just put packing tape over it and stuck it on the candle. Not as nice but it will do!!

    Im using the scotch tape and the card and also doing all steps as instructed. However the tape is separating from the paper after only less than a minute has passed and not getting the full picture. (I got the quote but it was faded and needed more ink). What was the temperature of water you used? Could that be the issue?

    So I tried this and I’m sooo impressed with how they came out! I did two, now 14 more to go! Thank you so much for sharing!! I used 3” extra wide packing tape by ULINE. For the photos/quotes, i sized them myself and pasted them into a document. I had them printed at Staples and it came to $3.54 for 8 colored pages. One of my photos was a little dark so i just dabbed a little Elmer’s glue around the edges and VOILA! ;P

      I made a bunch of these for the holidays. They were fine. No problem with heat from the candle. After we burned them, we peeled the photos off and stuck them other candles until they eventually ended up on the refrigerator 😀 A bit of heat from a hair dryer works wonders for getting the “sticky” back.

We used to do such things and it’s good that we found a professional development team that could help us with this. That’s why it’s necessary to connect IT solutions in order to put such a business on stream, namely the production of this product. I can tell you that I was helped by the ukrainian software development team and I am grateful to them that they did well and put the business on stream thanks to improved automation. Good luck and success.
