Look great!!! What kind of glue did you use to attach? I tried to glue on candy hearts on a candle for Valentine's day and I had a hard time finding a glue to use. I would glue them on and come back later only to find them all over the table. Kay

I used Tacky Glue, while this was wax, it was a little differet than the candles that crumbled in my hands. I actually put the glue on the back of the design, let it get a little tacky, then held to the candle for a time, and then let it dry really good.

They are wonderful! What kind of embroidery Regular FSL, thread? and how did you glue or did you melt the wax and place while it was hot? thanks christine LLDS!

I used 40wt embroidery thread, and stitched on Organze. I cut from the organza, and glued to the candle. These candles were flameless. I used Tacky glue to hold it, and it stayed better than the first kind I tried.

These will surely make a wonderful gift! You did a wonderful job even if it did take some adjustments on your part. I am sure it will be worth the trouble in the long-run!

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I found the original designs that I did for the pillar candles that crumbled, and need to decide what to do with them - possibly framing them? I love the design, and it stitched so perfectly - even after I had to reduce the size to fit my Dollar Tree finds of the flameless candles.

Will have to have a look at our Dollar Tree, didn't know they had flamless candles. Thanks for the heads up.
