Is it possible to colour these candles? What kind of paint would work, acrylic maybe?

nooo! don't try to color your candles unless you melt the wax which would be a bit difficult the sheets that already have color would be the way to go

I am not sure about that, I do know you can make them with Corel Draw products including Photo Paint and Graphics Suite. Some pretty good info can be found on the Corel website itself and shooting them a quick email should get you a definite answer quickly. Good luck! Cheers! Marty G

That's a great idea! If you turned it upside down and put a big candle on it, or put some sort of small rocks or other decor items - they would look awesome!!!

I don't they will work on canvas, they are not intense enough, but here is a suggestion. (Try this on a scrap piece if canvas first). Use a bottled metallic or pearlescent acrylic paint, then heat set. Also, I watched a You Tube video where Derwent Inktense Pencils were used on canvas with very nice results, check it out.

I doubt it, but why would you want to? They're beautiful and lifelike as they are. If I wanted some color, I'd place them in a clear glass vase on a lighted base, and change to a color bulb.

These are not bare wood, so it would require removing the outer coat of varnish to the bare wood. In order to stain them that would be a bit tedious.

They have a waxy finish, so my best guess is that it would be similar to painting a traditional wax candle. I wonder if gilding wax would work? AMACO Rub 'n Buff Wax Metallic Finish, Gold Leaf, 0.5-Fluid Ounce

Yes they can be painted. I just bought paint at Wal-Mart. I loved this set, it was great and easy to use.

You are very right. These definitely would not look good with those bulbs. Even if you had ones that were really short and didn't stick out, the effect would be clunky. I have clear amber candle bulbs and it's a pretty glow.

Its just some putty, tiny piece, and.i used some kind of wax you would use to stand a candle up, when i ran out to stick them, it wont harm paint.

You could use crayons on them, but the paper is thin and textured. White butcher paper on top would be better suited.

I suppose you could paint the colored PVC, but they are very nice to begin with, the colors is what makes them a nicer set than most.

No, afraid not. I wonder if you could paint them with magnetic paint though?

Yes. I used a blue paint pen that coordinated with my color theme. A Sharpie would also work.

yes, with acrylics. Then I Spray them with Acrylic finish. Then got them wet and put in dryer. They cam out great. The paint will leak through so put a piece of parchment paper between front and back. Good Luck.

The paper part is absorbent, so I don't think it would take well to paints. Perhaps a sharpie marker or pastel crayons would work.

No. They are not wax covered and therefore can be used outside. They do flicker, however, and for a small votive seem realistic enough.
