Directions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
- Warm the beeswax sheet slightly before you begin so that it’s easy to cut and roll. Use a hairdryer if necessary. Warming the pizza wheel in hot water helps too!<\/li>
- Cut the beeswax sheet sheet into two equal pieces as indicated by the dotted line in Figure 1.\n

- Cut a piece of wick so that it is slightly longer than the shortest<\/strong> edge of your pieces of beeswax.<\/li>
- Place the wick about \u00bc inch from the shortest edge of one piece and press it down slightly. Do not<\/strong> stretch it! Just make sure that it’s straight & that the ‘V’ shapes in the wick are the right way up.<\/li>
- Roll the wax tightly around the wick once and pinch it slightly to ensure an air-tight seal.<\/li>
- Now continue rolling in the direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 2. Use the left-hand uncut edge to keep you straight.\n

- If you do start to roll at an angle, unroll a little and realign as you go.<\/li>
- When all of the wax has been rolled, use your finger, or the flat blade of a warm metal knife, to seal the final edge.<\/li>
- Trim the wick at the top of the candle to \u00bc inch before lighting.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
