Beeswax candles have been made since ancient times. Beeswax candles are special and beautiful! They clean the air while they burn and emit a pure sweet honey scent. Learn how to make a decorative pillar candle, container candle, tea lights and floating candles.
I will demonstrate how to make a decorative pillar candle from a rubber mold. We will then make the container candles, tea candles and floating candles together.
