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!

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
