Paint a bit of the Mod Podge onto your first votive candle, and begin alternating paper pieces.

Brush more Mod Podge over top of the tissue paper for a smooth finish. 

Repeat this with each votive candle, covering every side of the candles. Let these dry for a few hours, or overnight on a piece of white scrap paper. These may stick a little bit, so white paper worked best.

Now, you can stop here, or you can customize the candles with your message of #LOVE :) 

*** Draw your letters onto the votives with pencil first!!!

And then paint over the pencil with black puffy paint. Carefully go back over the edges so they are smooth.
