Bees Wax Candle Making

Basically, paraffin wax is a petroleum product that has gone through a refining process. The end result is a product that is solid at room temperature. Within the refining process, waxes can be classified as fully refined wax, semi-refined wax, scale wax and slack wax.

One of the most popular natural waxes is beeswax. Beeswax comes from the honeycomb and is available in yellow or white. The bees wax candle making is always been popular due to the very pleasant aroma, the hardness of the product and its burning characteristics. The other advantage this product offers is that it performs very closely to paraffin wax with very little if any additives.

Keep the beeswax 100% natural by never adding artificial scents or toxic colorants. Without using any harsh chemicals or bleach, we thoroughly filter our beeswax removing all impurities. Purified beeswax will ensure a bright, soot-free, sweet smelling burn.

When you purchase the beeswax, it will be in a roll. It may tend to crack when you try to unroll it. Try and use the blow dryer on low to warm the sheet up so it is more manageable, go back and forth over it slowly. As the wax begins to warm start unrolling it.

If you purchased the large sheets of beeswax, you will need to cut it to the size you need. It is possible to purchase sheets that are just the size for candles. Cut the wicking one and one-half inches longer than the sheet you plan to use. Place the wick along one of the long edges. Allow the wick to overhang three-fourths of an inch on each end.

On the edge with the wick, gently fold over one-eighth of an inch all the way down, enclosing the wick in the beeswax. Mash the wax flat against the wick. Start rolling the beeswax, keeping it even all of the way down the sheet. It's so important to the bees wax candle making procedure. 

You can make a thicker candle, by adding another sheet of beeswax at the end of the first sheet. Press the second sheet to the edge of the first sheet. Warm it with the hairdryer to make it stick better. Keep rolling the beeswax until you come to the end.

When you finish rolling the wax, blend the end of the sheet into the other beeswax using your thumb or thumb nail. Make it look as smooth as possible. Look at both ends of your candle, and choose the one that looks the nicest to be the top. Trim the wick to one-half inch, and cut the one on the bottom completely off.

That's it, see how easy Bees Wax Candle Making is and you and your kids will have so much fun making their own Bees Wax Candles.
