beeswax candles
it seems fitting to post this on imbolc/candlemas, as today is the celebration of the light shifting and spring nearing. one of the rituals for candlemas is to create candles. while we did this a coupla weeks ago, it is a nice day to share our eeeeasy (and satisfying!) candle-making activities.
we bought some sheets of colorful beeswax from a local waldorf-inspired toy store called playstore. i think it was $3 per sheet, and we got a few colors of wax, and they threw in wicks with the purchase. (each sheet we bought could easily make 6 candles the size you see pictured, which is about 4″ tall.)
N wanted to make her own candles for her waldorf birthday ring this year…. in her favorite color of course – purple!
all you do is cut the wax to the size you want the candle to be, and cut the wick to the height of the candle (plus a centimeter or so at the top.) then roll the wax around the wick.
and also super-pretty lit in a birthday ring! happy one two three four candles, my shiny daughter.
