Wrapping the Stick

Wrapping the Stick

David Fisher
Put your wax on to melt.

While that's melting, prepare your sticks. Using a piece of masking tape, affix a strip of brown paper at an angle onto the stick. Wrap the paper tightly around the stick, adding another piece of paper if you run out. You want the paper to run between 1/3 and 1/2 of the length of the stick. It doesn't have to be perfect. It will be covered up with the wax.
