Abstract
A decorated luminary product includes either a candle or a candle holder containing the candle. A decorative web of a heat-shrinkable polymer web is heat shrunk to conform to a shape of the one of the candle and the candle holder. The web is decorated with a thermochromic ink or pigmentation to cooperate with heat emitted by burning the candle to provide a visible change in the ink or pigmentation, so as to provide a pleasing visual effect when the candle is burned.
