Materials :
1 . Make somesoy & beeswax jar candlesin wide mouth 250ml / one-half dry pint jars likethese . occupy jars so that they are only 3/4 full ( note : they are too full in the photo shew ) as this will allow you to have space for the beeswax succulent and also be able to screw the hat on the shock for wrapping / merchant vessels .
2 . Now you could begin deck ! Using a cooky cutter , cut out a flower - same shape from a sheet of the beeswax . We used both honeycomb and tranquil sheets for unlike texture . Using the pen , plug a hole in the center of the flower , then slide it over the wick onto the top of your candle .
3 . Cut a 2d colouring material of wax with the cooky cutter . Using the knife or scissors , part all the flower petal , then fan out some of the gaudy wax ( a sticky wax that acts as gum for the petals ) with a lollipop bewilder around the centre of the flower . Arrange and adjure each petal around the wick . Carefully bend the far peak of each petal upwards to create a 3D effect .
4 . For the third stratum of the flower , cut out smaller petal build with the knife or scissors . Generally 6 petals will do . Again , spread the tacky wax and adhere the petal , gently bending each tip up .
That ’s it ! No really , it ’s that easy .
