Roll the beeswax sheet firmly around the wick just once, just enough to completely cover the wick, and make sure that the beeswax is pressed into the wick.
You’ll be rolling the rest of the candle much more gently, but you do want to make sure that the wick has good contact with the beeswax, so this first roll is the most important.

Your how-to has inspired me to make rolled beeswax candles for my wedding !! (14 months away, so here goes). But I wanted to mention that Knorr Beeswax lists 20 sheets for $50, but candlewic.com lists them much cheaper (referenced on martha stewart’s how-to candle thingy) 10 sheets for $16.50, or 50 sheets for $68.50…. Although, I haven’t been able to compare shipping or quality – only quantity.
