Beeswax preformed sheets can become a candle art with an abundance of ideas for unique gifts. Candlemaking with preformed wax sheets can become an art for anyone, any age.

The basic instructions for making beeswax candles are picking the color of preformed beeswax sheet, get enough wick for the length of the candle wanted, make sure wick is the right thickness for the width of the candle, roll preformed sheet around the wick (make sure wax is at room temperature for easy rolling and no breakage), and trim uneven edges. If cutting sheets into shapes, you can layer same shaped pieces, make a wick hole in the center of the layers, insert wick (appropriate for candle thickness). Shapes can also be made like a 3-D puzzle and can be made into various shapes using candlemaking recipes and ideas. Place candle in a proper candleholder and then you are ready to light your candle.
