These are great for kids as they’re simple to make and can be moulded in a range of shapes and sizes.
Beeswax Candles
Materials
Sheets of beeswax (in desired colours)
sharp knife
wicking
Working on a protected surface, cut the beeswax sheets into rectangular or tirangular shapes of the desired size. Cut a length of wick slightly longer than the long edge of your beeswax sheet. Position wicking about 5mm from this edge and fold and press the beeswax over the wicking to secure it in place.
Roll the beeswax sheet from this edge to form a candle. Repeat to make the desired number of candles.
Rectangular sheets will roll into standard column candles while triangles will create interesting tapered effects. Experiment by rolling differently shaped pieces of beeswax to create your own unique candles.
