How to make beeswax candles

Here's how to make some lovely beeswax candles:
What you'll need:
Shallow beeswax foundation (unwired) (I got mine from Cornwall Honey)
Wick
Wick holders


Cut your wax and wick to size - knot the wick one end and thread the wick holder:



Using the edge of a table, gently and slowly roll the wax around the wix, trying to leave as little air between the rolls as possible.



Squeeze the edge of the last roll down to keep the candle together:



Et voila!


Make a couple and tie some ribbon around them to make a gorgeous Christmas pressie for your loved ones:
