To melt the beeswax in a bain-marie, you&#8217;ll need a dedicated container &#8211; a stainless steel bowl or saucepan (you may not be able to reuse it for cooking food, so opt for an old one). Place your container in a larger saucepan containing water and melt the beeswax over low heat. <\/p>\n<p>2. How long this takes will depend on how much wax you have, but it should take about ten minutes. Stir occasionally with a wooden chopstick to make sure all the wax melts evenly. <\/p>\n<p>3. In parallel, you can prepare your wicks by gluing them with wax to the bottom of your containers. Make sure your wick is in the center. To do this, you can use a clothespin to thread the wick through the center of the peg, which will rest on the edges of your container.  <\/p>\n<p>4. Quickly pour the melted wax into the containers. If you wait, the wax will harden and not render properly. <\/p>\n<p>5. Once the candles have been filled, place them in a place that&#8217;s not too cold to allow them to cool. Thermal shock could cause cracks, which wouldn&#8217;t be very pretty. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>In our online store, you can order beeswax flakes in bulk, so you can order the exact quantity you need.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lespaillettesvertes.ch\/produit\/cire-dabeille\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lespaillettesvertes.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/dea1bc_fe45fb231a5044c082b0d74bcd0c5b53mv2-2-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Make your own 100% natural beeswax candles\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"> <\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lespaillettesvertes.ch\/produit\/cire-dabeille\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discover beeswax<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Discover our rapeseed wax candles by Noosh Studio<a href=\"\/?product_cat=diy-faire-soi-meme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If you don&#8217;t have the time or patience to make your own candles, but still want to have natural candles that don&#8217;t pollute your home.
