Bees Wax Pillar
For this
project use beeswax sheets, which come in a variety of colors. The
candle is a large thickness suitable for these candle dimensions.
Sheet wax works best when you are in a warm environment or the
sheeting may crack.
1: Start by cutting you candle wick to length. It needs to sit flush
at the bottom and over hang around 1 inch at the top of the candle ,
remember you can always trim the length later.
2: Press the wax tightly around the wick, this insure that your
candle will burn correctly by providing it with an even source of
wax for fuel.
3: applying a firm pressure roll the candle up, making sure to keep
your bottom edge even so that it will stand up.
If you make a mistake just unwrap it and start again.
4: Once you get to the end of your candle press the end firmly into
the candle to stop it unrolling.
Its now ready to burn. You can embellish your candles with ribbons,
raffia and even cut out shaped of different colored bees wax.
