::::Candlewic Review::::

    I'm constantly on the lookout for different crafts and supplies that make those crafts more enjoyable. With Christmas drawing near, I thought I would attempt making candles and maybe soap this year. Then I stumbled across Candlewic. They were nice enough to give me the opportunity to review one of their kits. I got the Beeswax Sheets Sampler pack in the mail a few days back. It was a package of ten (8" by 16") sheets of %100 beeswax and some candle wick. It also came with a holiday candle project that can be made with the sheets. I decided to go right over to my sisters house and try it out. I wanted to do this nice candle idea I had seen on Martha Stewert with cinnamon sticks. When I opened the box, could already tell it was going to be super easy and enjoyable.
   I got to my sisters and got the beeswax sheets out. The colors are random when you get them, so you don't know what you'll get. I got 2 sheets of each color they gave, which was white, burnt orange, pink, and two shades of purple. I loved the colors...especially the lilac! I cut the sheets in half the long way. Then I got a hairdryer out and blew the heat on for just a minute. I cut off a piece of the wick and placed in on the end of the wax that I had cut.
   I then just rolled it to the end. You can roll it as much as you want according to the thickness you desire. It's literally that easy! With it being so easy I started to make different designs. I made a jar full of candy candles, a set of three decorative candles in purple, a goth/ halloween candle and the cinnamon stick ones I wanted to try. With a little bit of ribbon or accessories, you can spend just a moment on these candles but have a great overall result!
   I loved this kit, and I am not just saying it. My sister seemed to like the  convenience of it and liked the diamond design. My mother, who is a librarian, seemed to bite on this idea for the kids program that does arts and crafts. This kit is really affordable also, coming out to a little over a dollar for each sheet...the pack I got with ten sheets in it, goes for $13.50. The only thing that I could possibly say might make this product any better, is to add fragrance to them, but that doesn't stop me from giving them 5 stars. Please go check them out, they have lots and lots of things for every stage of candle making. If you are stuck on gifts or maybe you just don't have a lot of time. This would definitely be something to look into! In just minutes you can have great looking candle sets or go crazy and make unique candles to the recipients taste. Can not say it enough, this is a great product! Thank you Candlewic for the opportunity!
  (Those roses I placed on the top of the gift box are roses I made from egg cartons, and koolaid. You cut out the cups of the egg carton and dip in food coloring (or koolaid in my case) and arrange the rose the way you want it to look with putting the cups inside eachother. Let dry and hot glue onto whatever :)

All reviews are my own opinions. I was not paid by any of the sponsors.
