Easy to Cut Craft Aluminum

  1. Using an etching tool or nail, etch a pattern into the aluminum.

Etching Tool for Bow Making

  1. Wrap the aluminum around the tapered candles. Use either double-sided tape or glue dots to hold the aluminum in place. Note: A hot glue gun will not work.  It will just melt the finish off the candle.
