Tip: Some people like to turn the wax over and bend the 1/8" channel along the corner of the counter or a cutting board. It works either way. It just needs to be a nice, neat, straight channel for the wick.
Make a Simple Rolled Beeswax Candle
By David Fisher, About.com Guide
Lay the wick along the edge of the sheet and start rolling the candle by bending over about 1/8" of the wax. With this small channel, you'll enclose the wick. Working from one end to the other, press down firmly to make sure the wax is tight around the wick. Note: This is the only time that you'll press hard with the beeswax sheets!
