I would like to give wax candles a 'fabric effect' (leather, suede, linen and cotton) and was wondering which paints I could use for this.

I've read that acrylic paints work best on wax

Ralph Lauren Home seem to have paints which their website describes as 100% 'acrylic latex' that can create these looks

Is there any reason why these paints cannot be used on candles?

According to their website:

Composition

- Acrylic Resin

- Titanium Dioxide and

Extender Pigments

- Not manufactured with lead or mercury containing materials

Can anyone see any obvious problems? Or know of any other acrylic paints that can achieve similar effects?

Thank you very much!
