DIY Christmas Gifts: How to Create Custom Candle Labels

Want a Christmas gift that feels personal and does not take weeks to make? Put a custom label on a candle. Designing the label takes minutes, and Sira Print prints and ships it fast. Here are five label ideas, then the steps to order.

Five candle label ideas

1. Family name. "The Millers" in a handwritten font says "home". Design it in Canva and upload the file.
2. Seasonal design. A fall or winter border with space for a short message. Canva's transparency tool helps the text stand out on a soft background.
3. Romantic message. "I love you" on a candle sets the mood on a cold night, and the gift keeps giving after Christmas.
4. A joke. "Use in case of emergency, like burned dinner" for the family cook with a track record.
5. Encouragement. "It's going to be okay" is a thoughtful stocking stuffer for someone who needs it.

Buying or making the candles

If you are crafty, buy a candle kit at a craft store and pour your own. The kit will list the jar size, or measure the jar to pick a label size. If you would rather buy plain candles in bulk, a custom label goes right over the jar, even over an existing label.

One design or many

Ordering the same label for every candle? Put a family photo or "Happy Holidays" on roll labels and peel one off for each jar. Want different quotes and images? Put several designs on one sticker sheet. For extra sparkle, try holographic stickers.
