Handrolled sparkly beeswax candles

Pretty much exactly what the title says. Basically, this will show you how to handroll beeswax candles, and also make them sparkly.

Ingredients/Supplies/Materials:


At least one (1) sheet of beeswax
(available from your local chain craftstore, most of the time)

At least one (1) wick. I always buy the ones with the metal bases attached, but it's your perogative. It doesn't matter, really.

Sparkles (any colour, I chose multi-coloured)

Elmer's glue

A paintbrush (large or small, doesn't matter)

Scissors (depending on the size of your sheet of wax: if you have a large sheet, you can cut it in half and have more candles)

Water (less than a 1/4 of a cup)

A bowl (smallish/small medium)

Hands

A flat surface

Step 1: Mixing glue and glitter

Sprinkle glitter liberally at the bottom of your bowl.

Add a sizeable amount of glue, and begin to mix them together with your paintbrush.

Begin to add water, a little at a time, until it is a thick, milky consistency.

I like a lighter glitter look, but feel free to add as much glitter as you like.

pretty cool, i thought that you meant "sparkly" as in it sparks when it burns.
