Rolled Beeswax Candles Making rolled beeswax candles is simple and safe. Even children can make these candles in just a few minutes. This is a great craft you can enjoy with the family.
1 sheet of natural beeswax
Wick for 1 inch diameter candle, primed
Prepare the wick by cutting a length of wicking appropriate to your candle size. Lay the primed wick along the edge of one of the short sides of the beeswax sheet. Leave about ½ inch of wick protruding on one end of the sheet. Turn the first ¼ inch of the sheet over the wick and press it down tightly all along its length. Roll the sheet up keeping it as tight as possible as you go. Then press all along the end of the rolled sheet to seal the edge of the candle. You now have a beeswax candle.
