Here's what you'll need:
- Some beeswax sheets (they usually come in about 8" x 16" sheets
- Some primed wick appropriate for a 1" candle
- A matt knife, sharp knife or razor blade (I use a small kitchen paring knife.)
- A suitable cutting surface
Make a Simple Rolled Beeswax Candle
By David Fisher, About.com Guide
Beeswax candles are really wonderful. A light, warm glow and a wonderful sweet scent make them true delights...and rolled beeswax candles are about the easiest candles to make. Since the wax isn't melted, you don't need a melt pot or stove to make them. A great project for kids!
