Practice using the tool on a spare candle or on the bottom of your candle. This will help you to gain understanding of how to operate the rotary tool and select the best operating speed.
You will need:
Candle and mirror for base
Acrylic craft paint
Foam paint brush
Soft Pencil
Here's how:
1. Use a soft pencil to draw your design onto the candle.
2. Carve the design onto the candle using a Dremel Multitool with the 107 engraving cutter. Use a steady continuous motion during your carving process. After carving is finished apply a small amount of paint to the bevelled section of the foam brush. Move in an upward direction along the length of the candle until you achieve a desired texture. Continue this process until you have covered the entire candle.
3. To engrave the mirror base, draw freehand with a fine line marker. Using the number 7144 diamond wheel point accessory etch in a side to side motion. Completely fill in the open areas of the stencil until it has an even, opaque texture. Use the 429 felt polishing wheel with the 401 mandrel to clean the etched areas of your glass base. This process will help clean and blend your etched areas. After your candle has completely dried, place it on top of the glass base to complete your candle kit.
