Keep in mind that if it is cold in the room, you may need to warm up the beeswax with a hair dryer. Repeat this process using different colors, if desired, stacking the shapes on top of one another until the stack is at least 3\/4&#8243; tall. After you have stacked the shapes take an ice pick, or a wick pin, and make a hole straight down the middle of the stack. Take a small piece of wick and carefully insert it into the hole. Leave about 1\/4&#8243; out of the bottom, fold it over, and press it into the bottom to keep it in place. Trim the top wick to about 1\/4&#8243;. Now you can arrange them and light them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This craft is great for a special holiday centerpiece that&#8217;s simple and quick to make, get out your cookie cutters and sheets of beeswax.
