Beeswax candles make great gifts and are easy to create. <br /><br />Shopping list:<br />• Rectangular sheets of beeswax (found at craft stores or bee keeping supply stores) <br />• Candlewicks<br />• Wax appliqués<br /><br />1. To begin, measure wick to fit on small side of piece of wax sheet plus 2 extra inches. <br />2. Press the wick into one of the shorter sides of the wax sheet. Leave some wick at the top for burning.<br />3. Starting on wick end, gently roll beeswax. <br />4. When you reach the opposite end of wax, gently smooth end into candle. <br />5. Embellish candle with appliqués if desired<br />6. Tie a few together with ribbon or raffia to give as a gift. <br /><br />The beeswax candles only take a few minutes to make, they burn clean, for a long time, and they don’t drip or smoke.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34856755-115893567105541575?l=rebeccasgardencrafts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04207026550174436177noreply@blogger.com4
