MORE BEESWAX CREATIONS
It would be impossible to include every variation on the rolled beeswx candle that could be accomplished. Once you begin, your imagination will, no doubt, take over. Perhaps not all ideas will be workable, but most will, I'll bet. Here are some to try:
- You could simply cut the sheet into equal halves and roll two candles.
- Select a sheet of green wax, cut it lengthwise into 2" wide strips. Then cut each strip diagonally, place the wick at the widest end and roll using the same method as described in our earlier post. When finished you will have 8 delightful little 2" Christmas trees.
- Or make a two-toned spiral: Using your choice of colors, cut the sheets diagonally. Stack two triangles of different colors, roll and finish as usual.
- You can create very thick candles by butting un-cut sheets of wax and continuing to roll until you reach the size desired.
- Stacked candles can be made by cutting the sheets of wax into various widths and butting together at the bottom, roll as above.
- Don't forget decorations!! Beeswax contains a natural adhesive so adding glitter is easy. And you can make cutouts from different colored sheets and stick to your candle.
- Things to remember: Work in a warm room. Save scraps for cutouts, beeswax can be easily repaired, you will not need extra wick for the bottoms of tapered candles. Have fun!!
