| Instructional Sheet on Hand-Rolled Beeswax Candles
In order to roll the sheets of beeswax they must be warm, at least room temperature. This can be done by using a hair dryer or by laying the sheet of wax on a piece of cardboard and then the cardboard onto a heating pad. Do not over heat the sheets or they will melt. They should not be stored in temperatures near or below freezing as they will shatter. | |
| 8" Candlestick pair (requires one sheet):
If you would like a connected pair, cut your wick so it measures approximately 24 inches. Cut the sheet in half as illustrated by the dotted line in Figure 1. Place wick along one edge and roll wax tightly and evenly around wick. Keep rolling but watch the edges so you roll the candle straight. Unroll as needed to realign. Roll the same direction on the sheet so that the honeycomb pattern looks the same on both candles. |  |
| 8" Pillar Candles (requires 1-2 sheets):
Place wick along one edge and roll wax tightly and evenly around wick (Figure 2). Keep rolling but watch the edges so you roll the candle straight. Unroll as needed to realign. If you would like a large diameter pillar, simply roll another sheet around the existing pillar. |  |
| Pencil Candles (requires one sheet):
If you would like a connected pair, cut your wick so it measures approximately 24 inches. Cut the sheet on a diagonal through the center of the wax sheet so you have two equal pieces (Figure 3). Place the wick on the longest edge of the sheet and roll wax tightly and evenly around wick. Watch the flat end of the candle so you roll the candle straight. Unroll as needed to realign. |  |
