In this at-home project, we will be crafting candles using 100% beeswax honeycomb sheets!

Honeycomb sheets are unscented and easy to use, requiring no heat or added fragrance. These honeycomb sheets can easily be cut into designs and appliqués and the best part is they come in a variety of different bright colors so you can take your creativity in any direction you’d like.

To begin, you need the following supplies:

  • Heat gun or Blow dryer
  • Crafting knife

Let's get rolling! Follow these five easy steps to crafting with Beeswax Honeycomb Sheets:

  1. Place the sheet on a cutting mat or table, and using a sharp knife, make the appropriate cuts (cuts can be made to create shorter or less bulky candles.)
  2. Warm the wax sheet gently with a hairdryer or heat gun to make it soft and pliable. (optional step)
  3. Lay the wick along the edge of the beeswax sheet and carefully fold the edge over the wick.
  4. Applying even pressure with both hands, begin to roll the candle, making sure to keep it straight so the bottom of the candle will be even when it is completely rolled.
  5. Press the seam (edge) of the sheet down to keep it from unrolling. (If necessary, heat again to stick it down.)

Now, you can add candle glitter or any other decorations to your candle to customize as your own.

    Instructions for rolling beeswax honeycomb sheets:

    1. Place the sheet on a cutting mat and, using a sharp knife, make the appropriate cuts.
    2. Warm the wax gently with a hairdryer to make it soft and pliable.
    3. Lay the wick along the edge of the beeswax sheet and carefully fold the edge over the wick.
    4. Applying even pressure with both hands, begin to roll the candle making sure to keep straight so the bottom of the candle will be even when it is completely rolled.
    5. Press the seam (edge) of the sheet down to keep it from unrolling. (If necessary heat again to stick it down.)

    Now you can add glitter or any other decorations to your candle.

    Note: We do not generally recommend adding fragrance oils to the beeswax sheet candles as the natural scent of the beeswax is quite strong and will blend with whatever scent you add, creating a different aroma from what you may desire.

    Never put scent directly on the wick. This will cause the candle to smoke. If you want to add some scent, either add a drop to the pool of melted wax while the candle is burning or add a few drops along with the sheet while rolling it (only in honeycomb sheets as the cell structure will hold the scent).

    1/0 SQUARE RAW WICK (10 YD)

    The 1/0 SQUARE RAW WICK  is recommended for use in beeswax, vegetable wax and rolled beeswax candles.

    Square raw wick was originally designed for beeswax candles, vegetable wax and rolled beeswax candles, however, they can still be used for soy and paraffin creations as well. Candle making is more art than science. Test burning candles using various wick sizes is recommended to determine the right size wick for your particular application.

    The first burn of a candle is important in setting the pace for how the candle will burn every other time that it’s lit. When you light your candle for the very first time, make sure that it burns long enough to melt the wax all the way to the outer edge. This may take several hours. The general rule of thumb is to let the candle burn for approximately an hour per inch of diameter. It’s also important to not overtrim the wick length every time the candle is lit. A wick that’s trimmed too short will not allow the candle to burn hot enough and may cause tunneling. A wick that is not trimmed far enough could cause the candle to burn too hot and may cause smoking.
