I have decorated this large, unscented white candle with a super vintage image of two smiling Santas, each with a group of excited children in a snowy trees scene.

The image has been ‘wrapped’ around the candle, so that there is a scene to view from all angles, if this is a centrepiece on the Christmas table; when on a hearth or mantelpiece, the candle can be turned around to view whichever Santa you prefer.

Both the Santa Claus are kindly and friendly-looking and the picture really evokes the feel of a vintage Christmas-time.

The colours of the image are festive, with reds, greens and browns, and the napkin decoupage gives it a depth and a lovely, textured feel to the touch.

I have packaged the candle and added a raffia tie so that it might be given as a gift.

The candle is 100mm x 180mm (7” tall x 4”) and should burn for around 130 hours.

This candle makes a really attractive decoration in its own right, but as the images have been fixed with a liquid wax glue it can be lit.

BUT please do follow all normal candle safety rules when doing so, including placing the candle on a fireproof dish/holder, out of the reach of children or anything flammable, and never leaving a candle unattended.
