DIY Beeswax Candles

• 1 lb Beeswax
• Wicks
• Glass jars
• Container for melting the wax

Instructions:

1. Place the beeswax into your container/can. Place the can inside a stock pot filled half-full with water. Simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally as it melts.
2. Prepare your jars and wicks - get the wick to stay in the middle of the jar as you pour in the beeswax and it sets.
3. Pour the melted beeswax into the jar, leaving one inch of room at the top. Set the jars aside and allow them to cool and set completely.
4. Cut the wick and light.
