Rolled Beeswax

Candles are fun and easy to make. Beeswax smells great and burns longer than
paraffin. You can make these candles in almost any size that suits you, from
16” candlesticks to 4” pillars, and more, using this simple rolling technique.
For rolling tapered beeswax candles, creating beeswax appliquÈ, and more
