How to roll your own beeswax candles for the Christmas tree
- Start by cutting the first sheet of wax into 10 squares: 11.5 x 6.8 cm. This makes 10 round Christmas tree candles
- With a hair dryer you can heat up the edge a little so that it can stick better. Then you bend the edge of the small wax sheets over something with an edge, e.g. a cutting board or another board
- When the edge is bent, you place the wick in the fold and roll the wax sheet tightly around it.
- For beeswax candles, round wicks are used, and it is important that the wick faces the right way. We have therefore marked the wick, so you know that it is the end that must be at the bottom of the light. This is to ensure that the burning is as good as possible.
- Roll the candle completely. Preferably as tight as possible
- Finally, you cut the wick so that it is approx. 1 cm. where the light is.
- The wick should burn up by itself, but if a small piece falls off and lands in the light, it reduces the quality of the fire.
Also, pay attention to the fire authorities' instructions for burning candles:
- Never leave a lighted candles.
- Always place lit candles so that children and animals cannot knock them over.
- Always supervise candles.
- Always turn off candles when you go to bed or leave the home.
- Calves must be placed well away from fluttering curtains.
- Never have candles in children's rooms.
- Candles (especially tealights) can float out and begin to burn
- Do not blow out light, but smother the flame. For example with a pot that is placed over the candle(s) with the bottom in the air.
