Eileen's Kwanza Rolled Beeswax Sheet Candles
Kwanza candles come in all
sizes.
The are made in Red, Green and Black.
General
Directions:
Use
thin wicks, not wire wicks, as it will cause the wax to burn too hot.
Tightly
but gently roll all candles. (Air/bubbles will also cause them to burn too
fast.)
I used a safety metal cutter for cutting cane/polymer clay slices. Safe
around children
