Finish rolling the wax sheets. Press the small end corners down against the base firmly to keep them well attached. Trim the wick to about 1/2".

That's it. Enjoy the wonderful beeswax candle.

Tips:

  • The candle will burn better and longer if you make sure that the roll is nice and tight - without warping the wax.
  • You can make this candle with three or even four sheets of wax for more of a tapered pillar-type candle.
  • If the base of the candle is uneven, or if you're having problems with the candle unrolling, try melting the base a little in your melt pot or a frying pan with a piece of aluminum foil in it.
