All Natural Beeswax Garden Flare Candle
Materials Needed
- 8 sheets all natural beeswax
- 10′ cotton wick
- Dowel/bamboo
- Aluminum foil
Step 1:
Lay wick across the edge of the wax sheet. Position wick extending 1/2″ (one-half) past the top and 3″ from the bottom of the wax. Roll the edge of the wax over wick once, just far enough to cover the wick.
Step 2:
Wrap piece of aluminum foil around the very tip of the dowel or bamboo (to prevent the wood from burning).
Step 3:
Lay 3″ of dowel/bamboo beside the first wrap of wax as prepared in Step 1.
Step 4:
Heat well so the wax sticks well to your dowel or bamboo. Tightly roll the whole sheet of wax onto the dowel/bamboo. Keep the top and bottom of your wax sheet even while rolling firmly. Your end result should be a tightly rolled candle.
Step 5:
To add a decorative accent to your garden flares add a natural ribbon or raffia bow to the base of your candle. (Be sure to remove your bow before burning your candle.)
