Fall Leaf Candle Wraps Instructions
These candle wraps are designed to be used on standard 3″ pillar candles. If you are using them on larger candles, you can use math to figure out how to make them the right size. If you’re unsure, the radius of the candle is half the width. So if it’s a 4″ pillar candle, the radius is 2. The calculator will then spit out a number — use that as the width of your candle wrap, adding 1/4″ or so as overlap to glue (if you are using an adhesive material such as vinyl, this overlap is unnecessary). Because of the detailed nature of these files, I wouldn’t recommend cutting them for a candle smaller than 3″ wide.
Cut out your candle wraps on your Cricut and weed out the negative material. Carefully peel up the candle wrap off the backing material and wrap the candle wrap around your candle. If you’re using a non-adhesive material, use a thin line of glue to secure it (if no one will see the back of your candle, you could even use tape!). Make sure it doesn’t glue directly to the candle. Voila! You could also use flameless candles if you’d like.

The step by step approach makes it feel easy to try, even for beginners. It’s the kind of simple creative project I’d pair with a quick math playground break for the kids while setting up.
Daniel says
These leaf candle wraps are such a cozy idea! I remember making something similar for my home last fall, using the “geometry arrow” technique to add some flair. Perfect for setting an autumn vibe!

These candle wraps are beautiful! They remind me of my time playing geometry dash subzero—both require creativity and patience in crafting something special. It’s a unique way to express myself during fall!
