Homemade candles from natural beeswax

1 Cut a wick for the beeswax candle slightly longer than the short end of the beeswax sheet.

2 Fold the edge of the beeswax sheet around the wick so that it just covers it. A tip: make sure that the beeswax is at room temperature making it easier to work.

3 Roll the beeswax sheet until you have reached the end and continue with another beeswax sheet for a thicker candle.

4 Punch out six stars for the star-shaped candle using your chosen shape cutter. Tap lightly with a hammer if the wax is too hard.

5 Make a hole in the centre of all the stars using a wooden flower stick or similar. The wick needs to fit through the hole.

6 Thread all the stars onto a wick as shown in the photo. Important: Place the finished candle on a non-flammable surface.
