Make the Snowman Candle1. Cut two full sheets into rectangular strips of different sizes:

For pattern 1, narrow strip 1A is 2” wide, which makes wide strip 1B 6” wide, or3/4 the width of the sheet. For pattern 2, narrow strip 2A is 2-5/8” wide, whichmakes wide strip 2B 5-3/8” wide, or 2/3 the width of the sheet. We used natural-colored beeswax sheets for this illustration. For our sample candle we used onewhite and one blue. Remember lighter-colored beeswax sheets are translucent,so the blue shows through to make an ice-blue color effect.

2. Lay the wick at one end of strip 1B, and roll the strip straight across, to make acylindrical candle.

3. Lay the rolled candle (1B) across the end of strip 2B (the 2/3 strip), and roll themtogether into a cylinder with two sections of different widths.

4. Lay the candle made from 1B and 2B across the end of strip 2A (the 1/3 strip),and roll them together again. This will give you a cylinder with three sections, asshown in our sample.

5. Press the edges of the cylinders together to round off the corners.

6. Cut strip 1A into smaller strips. Roll some of the strips into a tube which you canwrap around the top edge of the snowman’s head to form the hat brim.

7. Wrap other strips from 1A around the wick, to form the crown of the hat.
