Beeswax Candle Dipping Preparation


As we prepare to dip candles we gather the components:

Beeswax ~ a wheel


or chunks


a pot ~ one that can be dedicated to wax melting



a large can to put inside the pot ~ this one held pineapple juice



wicks


a dowel or branch to hang the candles as they dry


Warm the beeswax in the can in water in the pot



Waiting for the beeswax to melt



We'll continue when wax is melted......stayed tuned...until tomorow

  2. How fun, Lisa! Can't wait to dip our candles for Candlemas! We love to use them as birthday candles and have had requests from relatives to make them so they make great little holiday gifts :)

  3. So jealous! We have too many projects going on this year - so it is on the list.

    Have you ever made beeswax polish?


    Namaste, Nicole
