Using a Beeswax Candle Making Kit we created these sweet candles.
The kit we used was by Toadily Handmade.
The kit comes with sheets of beeswax, cotton wick cord and instructions.
Be sure to use heat safe glitter: Polyester Metallic, Pearlescent or Holographic are safe for heat.
We also used a heat gun to adhere the glitter (if you don't have a heat gun, a hot hair dryer can work)

After the glitter is on continue rolling it up.
