I cut a simple pumpkin face in vinyl on my Cricut Maker and then weeded away the design.
After removing any necessary stickers or labels from the candle, I cleaned the etching surface with rubbing alcohol.
I added the vinyl design to the central area of the pillar candle. Make sure it is rubbed down well without any wrinkles.
Using etchall crème, cover the exposed areas with creme. Set a timer for 15 minutes. Then remove the creme putting it back into the container because it is reusable. Wash the area, remove the vinyl, and dispose of the vinyl.
Here is the etched pillar candle. The etching is nice and more visible than seen in the image above. I chose to enhance the etching with buffing wax.
