Supplies:
Preformed sheets of colored paraffin
Candle wicking
Old cookie baking sheet
This is perhaps the simplest method of making candles at home. The height of the paraffin sheet will
determine the height of the finished candle, and length of the strip will determine its radius. A craft
knife can be used to cut the paraffin strips to the
desired size. Start by placing the paraffin sheet on the
cookie sheet. Place a piece of candle wicking
slightly longer than the height of your candle along the
side, allow it to overhang slightly. Then simply
roll the paraffin around the wick (If your paraffin is very stiff, you may wish to warm it with a hairdryer on
low). Continue rolling paraffin around the candle
until you reach the desired thickness.
