Finish Rolling the Beeswax Candle
Make a Simple Rolled Beeswax Candle
Keep rolling until you reach the end.

Tip: If you want to add another sheet of wax for a double thick candle, just butt a second sheet up to the edge of the first sheet, give the two sheets a few presses with your thumb nail to help join them together, and continue rolling.

Gently press the final edge down onto the side of the candle. It should form a fairly smooth edge. You can use your thumb or thumb nail to press down. (Some people press the edge of their finger nail down into the candle every inch or so...but I don't think this is necessary.)

Pick which end is the best "top", cut the wick off of the bottom and trim the top wick to about 1/2".

Enjoy the lovely light and heavenly fragrance of your beeswax candle.
