Trim any unevenness at the top and bottom of the candle (or simply press uneven parts down into the candle), and trim the top wick to about 1/4″.
Your candle is ready to be lit!
Once you’ve mastered this basic skill, you can become more creative with your rolled beeswax candles, rolling two or three sheets together, or pressing cut-outs from the beeswax sheets decoratively around the outside of the candle, or making tapered, twisting, or any other design that you can imagine.
And when you light your beautiful, sweet-smelling beeswax candle up for the first time one dark evening?
Well, I warned you that you’d become addicted to making them.
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.
