Supplies needed:

Instructions:

 

1) Cut one smooth beeswax sheet into 4 equal pieces,
each measuring about 2 1/8" wide x 16" long
2) now cut each strip into pieces 1 1/4" wide -
you'll get 12 from one strip
3) it helps to fold the edge on a ruler before beginning to roll the candle
- make sure it's the longer edge so the candle is 2 1/8" tall
4) cut a piece of #5/0 wick 2.5" long and lay it along the folded up
 edge, leaving the extra out one end, then fold the edge of the wax
 over the wick
5) roll the wax firmly between your thumbs and fingers;
press the seam firmly when finished to seal it
6) the wick should be about 1/4" long, trim if necessary before lighting
