I came across this RBG candle and I was inspired to make my own. Here’s how I did it:

  1. Go to ChatGPT and enter in the following prompt and attach a clear photo of your face (Optional but recommended: also attach a photo of a traditional prayer candle for reference):

I want to make a custom candle that would make a good gag gift. I want it to look like those candles for saints, but with my face on it instead. I've included a photo of myself. Can you create an image that I can print as a label to stick on a candle? Make sure that it is a flat image of just the label, not mocked up onto a candle already.

  1. Tweak with additional prompts as needed

  2. Print the sticker at a local print shop (I used Fedex)

  3. Buy glass pillar candle from a dollar store or big box store. Use a blow dryer to warm and remove any existing labels and stick yours on - ta da!
