AOL tin candle

[invaderstitch.livejournal.com]

So, I had this AOL tin, just sitting there, begging to be made into something.
I grabbed my acrylic paint, Mod Podge, a copy of Animerica, some old "floating votive" candles I had, and the scissors, and went to work.







I painted it in acrylics to give it a rougher surface and to provide background color, then mini-collaged the lid with images from Ranma 1/2. On the inside, I glued in a picture of Ryoga Hibiki and made a little inscription with a sharpie. The entire thing was then sealed with the sparkle Mod Podge to waterproof and keep the paint from chipping. Then, I melted the votives, and poured the wax into the tin, placing four of the votive wicks inside. And voila. :) This was made as a gift for my boyfriend, who adores Ranma 1/2.

Just thought I'd share. :)
