Beeswax to Relax

Both making the candles and lighting them make things go from "stress to less" for me. I love the smell of beeswax and the look of these rolled candles.

What You Need

Sheets of beeswax (different colours is nice)

A pair of scissors

Cut and Roll

To create a strait candle, cut a straight piece of beeswax and cut a piece of wick that fits to the length of the candle.

Put the wick at the end of the candle and start rolling.

Experiment with different sized strips of wax to create longer, narrower candles or shorter, wider ones.

Different Patterns

To create a spiral, cut the wax on an angle, start from the longer edge, and roll the wax keeping the base level.

Try using several strips of different coloured wax to create a unique look.
