Pure Beeswax

Following on the theme of candle making made easy, here is a video using beeswax foundation sheets.

Maybe as a child you rolled some beeswax candles, as an adult it is a decorator's dream.
You can roll a candle any size, just right for your candle holder. No more searching shops for the right candle when you can do it yourself.

The one I present on this video uses 2 colours so there is contrast, but just as easily it could be done as a single as a dinner taper.

I often recommend this simple candle kit. There is no melting, and it can be done on any flat surface (you know your friends will want to do it too, it's fun and easy!!).

It's also really good to hand out to children when you visit the family, it will keep them busy for hours.
I have suggested to school groups that the children decorate small glass jars with glass paints or labels, then simply roll a candle that fits inside. TWO projects in one!

If you would like to know about beeswax foundation sheets read on:

• pure beeswax sheets 20cm x 40cm in 6 different colours
  
• they feature a honeycomb pattern stamped into them


• this 6 sided pattern replicates the pattern of the hive and forms the foundation of their honeycomb


• the bees build out from the foundation sheet then fill the tubes with honey, then the bees cap off the honey


• apiartists (bee keepers) cut the cappings off which is the purest beeswax


• then the honey is spun out from the tubes


• the honeycomb is put back into the hives to be filled by the bees again


• this cycles through a few times then all the beeswax is melted down and a new foundation sheet begins the cycle again

I wish you all the creative best!
