Beeswax Tea Light Tutorial

by

Julie from Crafting a Green World wrote an awesome tutorial for creating beeswax tea light candles.

I love the way she used so many colors! Luckily, beeswax is very sticky, so changing colors is easy.

These tea lights make a wonderful option for oil burners, which is what she uses them for. This is also a money saver, because one beeswax sheet makes 8 tea lights!

You can buy ready-made beeswax sheets for making rolled candles here and check out our youtube video.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.
