Embroidered Lace
Holiday Candle

Supplies Needed:

Smooth Candle
Good quality lace designs
Floriani Wet N Gone® Stabilizer
Sponge, Foam Paint Brush, or Envelope Sealer

1)      Select a lace design and thread your machine.

2)    Hoop one layer of Floriani Wet N Gone® in the appropriate size embroidery frame.  (Because Wet N Gone® won’t stretch, it is O.K. to embroider multiple lace designs within the frame.)

3)    After the embroidery is complete, remove the design from the frame and trim the Wet N Gone® to within ½” of the design.

4)    With the candle lying on its side on a towel, position the lace motif where you want it. Apply water by dabbing the design lightly with a soaked sponge or foam paint brush. 

The Wet N Gone® will begin to disappear into the threads of the design.  Let the design “set up” for 15 minutes before applying another one to the candle.  *After the candle is completely decorated and dry – go back with a wet cloth to remove any “teardrops” that may have run down the sides of the candle. 

Don’t forget to tell the person who receives this wonderful gift that they can rinse the lace motifs and make ornaments or sun catchers out of them as the candle burns away!

Have Fun!
