  • Firmly roll the candle, using your fingers to evenly press and roll the entire length of the beeswax sheet.
  • Burnish the open edge to the candle by using your thumb and fingers to press and melt the wax into the side of the candle.

  • Press the bottom wick into the bottom of the candle.
  • Tie pairs up with a pretty ribbon
