How to Decorate a Pillar Candle
Candles are used for many occasions. They are versatile in style and color, and you can decorate them yourself. Pillar candles are probably the easiest to decorate because of their size. These candles have a large side that allows you to add more detail to them while having adequate surface space to work. Children and adults can decorate pillar candles in any way they choose. You want to use a solid color candle to begin with. A candle that has a pattern will not look as appropriate as one that is solid in color. Once the details are added to the candle, they cannot be taken off that easy. You want to be sure the items you add are exactly what you want.
Begin by gathering the materials you will be adding to the candle. Ribbons and large sequins are easiest to place on candles. A hot glue gun will be the best option to get the materials to stick on the candle. If you are helping a child design a candle, be sure to use the glue gun for them so they do not get burnt. Apply the glue to the candle in the area you want to make the design. Then carefully lay the ribbon or sequins on the glue, pressing down firmly until the decoration sticks. Leave the candle sitting over night so the glue will dry.

Does the color of the candle affect the amount of time a candle will burn?
no, actually it depends on the wick of the candle. the color has nothing to do with it. A candle with a straight wick burns better and longer than a candle with a crooked wick. Also the wax has a lot to do with it. Wax is the most important ingredient that makes a candle burn faster. soft wax has a higher oil content and lower melt temperature; therefore, it burns faster. Candles in jars have a soft wax, and pillar candles have a hard wax. the longest burning candles are pillar candles made of a blend of beeswax and paraffin. To sum it up: color makes no difference at how fast a candle burns. black candles burn no faster than white candles. Wick size is the primary factor determining the candle burning rate. the bigger wick will deliver more fuel to the burning flame.

How do you make a paschal candle from paper?
The simplest answer is to wrap a candle with white paper, then draw in whatever form speaks to you on the central elements of a paschal candle: a cross, the greek letters alpha and omega, and the current year. Just be careful not to let the paper catch on fire. Although that is the answer to the question, the paschal candle is meant to represent Christ's presence, so using paper would not be the ideal choice because it comes of as flimsy and temporary. A better alternative might be to use paint or a computer-printed decal to decorate the candle.
