Grab & Go Activity: Beeswax Rolled Candles

12/18/2021

0 Comments

 
Create a candle using beeswax sheets and a wick.  Use the colored sheets to make shapes or designs to add to your candle and make it unique!  These are fun and creative gifts to give for the holidays!
Picture
Materials in your Grab & Go Kit:​
  • Two wicks
  • One large sheet of beeswax
  • One half sheet of beeswax
  • Various sheets of colored beeswax for decorating your candle
Materials from home:
  • Scissors or sharp knife
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Hairdryer
You will be able to make two candles from the supplies in your Grab & Go Kit if you cut the large sheet of beeswax in half.  Find a good cutting surface and decide which design you are interested in making.  
 
  • You can create a tall and skinny candle.  Use only one color for this candle.
  • Or you can create a tapered candle with one color or multiple colors.
 
Make sure you put your wick in before you start rolling!  Warm up the beeswax sheets with the hairdryer for only 3 seconds at a time to keep the wax from cracking when you are rolling it.  If you don’t have a hairdryer, no problem, use your hands to warm the wax before rolling it.  
 
This video by Procraftive will show you how to make single colored candles in the two different styles, tapered or tall and skinny.

Cut out shapes and stripes to decorate your candles! Maybe you create a tall and skinny candle and put vertical or horizontal stripes on the candle after you have rolled it. Or cut out some stars, circles or other shapes to add to the candle too! You can warm the wax and stick your designs on the outside of the candle to make it really dazzle!  Happy creating!  Please use caution when lighting your creation!

Velas enrolladas de cera de abejas Proyecto de Arte para llevar a casa

Crea una vela usando láminas de cera de abejas y una mecha. ¡Usa las hojas de colores para hacer formas o diseños para agregar a tu vela y hacerla única! ¡Estos son regalos divertidos y creativos para estas fiestas!
Picture
Materiales incluidos en su kit
  • Dos mechas
  • Una hoja grande de cera de abejas
  • Media hoja de cera de abejas
  • Varias hojas de cera de abejas de colores para decorar tu vela
Materiales de casa
  • Tijeras o cuchillo afilado
  • Lápiz
  • Regla
  • Secadora de pelo
Podrá hacer dos velas con los suministros de su kit Proyecto de Arte para Llevar a Casa si corta la hoja grande de cera de abejas por la mitad. Encuentre una buena superficie de corte y decida qué diseño le interesa hacer.
  • Puede crear una vela alta y delgada usando solo un color para esta vela.
  • O puede crear una vela cónica (forma cilíndrica larga y delgada que es más ancha en la base y se estrecha en la punta)  con un color o varios colores.
¡Asegúrate de poner la mecha antes de empezar a enrollar! Caliente las hojas de cera de abejas con el secador de pelo durante solo 3 segundos a la vez para evitar que la cera se agriete cuando la esté enrollando. Si no tienes secador de pelo, no hay problema, usa tus manos para calentar la cera antes de enrollarla.

  • Este video de Procraftive le mostrará cómo hacer velas de un solo color en dos estilos diferentes, cónicas o altas y delgadas:​
