Summer is right around the corner and that means it's almost time to break out some of those DIY crafting projects - luckily we know just the thing!
Beeswax sheets are a wonderful way to keep busy bees and crafters engaged with a textile, hands-on, all natural activity!
Hand rolled tapers and pillar candles are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to beeswax sheet creations. We like to say, if you can imagine it you can almost certainly create it using beeswax sheets. Pliable, fusible, easy to work with for people of all ages (we recommend 5 years and up for little ones) this natural resource can be bent, folded, cut, and molded into just about any shape you'd like!
Here are a few of our beeswax sheet creations:
Beeswax Hand Rolled Tapers
Hand rolled tapers are a tried and true beeswax sheet craft. You can roll a full sheet for a larger pillar or cut your sheet in half for a more classic taper look. Decorate your rolled tapers however you'd like for any occasion under the sun! Here are a few tapers and pillars that we have rolled over the years!
All you need for hand rolled tapers/ pillars are: beeswax sheets, scissors (to cut the sheet to size), cookie cutters (if you want to add decals to the outside) and cotton wick
Beeswax Stars
Memorial Day, The 4th of July, and starry summer nights are coming up and it's the perfect time to showcase our cute beeswax sheet stars! Ours are red, white, and blue colors for the holidays but you can decorate your stars however you'd like using any color scheme that catches your eye!
All you need for beeswax stars (or any cutout crafts) are: beeswax sheets, cookie cutters, scissors, and cotton wick
Beeswax Cake and Dessert Toppers
What cuter way to decorate cakes and desserts for the holidays than using custom, handmade toppers! You can create just about anything using beeswax sheets and a cookie cutter, or you can trace a design and use a small blade or scissors to cut it out. whichever method you choose, the process is straight forward. Find a shape you want to create - we've done bunnies, ducks, and carrots for Easter, turkeys and pumpkins for fall, airplanes and dinosaurs for birthdays - the possibilities are endless!
