CANDLE ROLLING INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROLLING BEESWAX SHEETS:
1)Place the sheet on a cutting mat and using a sharp knife, make the appropriate cuts. 
2)Warm the wax gently with a hairdryer to make it soft and pliable. 
3)Lay the wick (cotton square braid) along the edge of the beeswax sheet and carefully fold the edge 
   over the wick. Applying even pressure with both hands, begin to roll the candle making sure to keep 
   straight so the bottom of the candle will be even when it is completely rolled. Press the seam (edge) 
   of the sheet down to keep it from unrolling (if necessary heat again or use some "Tacky Wax" to stick 
   it down). Now you can add glitter or any other decorations, and your candle is ready!

Note: we do not generally recommend adding fragrance oils to the beeswax sheet candles as the natural
scent of the beeswax is quite strong and will blend with whatever scent you add, creating a different 
aroma from what you may desire. Never put scent directly on the wick - this will cause the candle to 
smoke. If you want to add some scent, either add a drop to the pool of melted wax while the candle is 
burning or add a few drops along the sheet while rolling it (only in honeycomb sheets as the cell structure 
will hold the scent).
PATTERNS
Taper - cut sheet diagonally. 
*For a full taper (top to bottom) cut diagonally from opposite end corners. 
*For a "pencil top" taper (only the top is tapered) cut diagonally from even points further in towards the 
  middle of the sheet.
Use one half, or lay two halves on top of each other to make a double taper, or even a triple taper with 
three pieces. Honeycomb & Flat sheets can be mixed to give a contrasting texture. Once the candle has 
been rolled, gently run your finger along the inside seam of the wax, spirally around the candle, pulling 
the wax out to create a fluted taper.
Be creative! Try cutting your sheets in different ways to create your own unique candle designs. 
Use cookie cutters or cut out free-hand shapes to apply to your candles. Most of all, enjoy!
