To Make These Elegant 3 Tier Wedding Cake Beeswax Candles you Will Need:

White beeswax sheets
size #3 cotton candle wicks
3 Tier Wedding Cake shaped cookie cutter

The first thing you need to do is to unroll the beeswax. Do this on a flat work surface. You may want to go ahead and plug in a hairdryer near you. This will help to gently heat the beeswax any time you need to.

Now, use your 3 Tier Wedding Cake cookie cutter to cut out an even number of shapes from the wax. I like to cut out 10 pieces with my Ivy cookie cutter for this project, but you can do 8 or even 12. Play around with the thickness of your candle so that it works for you.

Now, you need to separate the3 Tier Wedding Cake cuttings into two even piles.

From the first pile take one piece of wax at a time and stack it onto another from the same pile and press firmly so that they stick together.

Now, Once all of the 3 Tier Wedding Cake wax from pile one is stuck together does the same thing to pile two. You should have two even stack so beeswax.

When both piles are done put a wick between both3 Tier Wedding Cake piles. You will need to press firmly until they are stuck together.

You may find it handy to use the hairdryer at this point to gently stick the 3 Tier Wedding Cake shaped wax pieces together. Do not melt the wax completely. You don't want to ruin the look of your beeswax. A little heat really will go along way in making the budget Wedding Favor shapes stick together.

Tips:

You can complete this candle craft project as described before, but add some fun embellishments to make the Wedding Favor candles really unique. I like to cut some smaller beeswax shapes out with mini 3 Tier Wedding Cake shaped cookie cutters. Make sure these will fit onto the original shape. Then press the smaller shapes in place on t outside of the candle. So, for instance you could cut out large Ivy shapes with you cookie cutters. Use a mini 3 Tier Wedding Cake shaped cookie cuter and you have a simple and elegant more three-dimensional look to the whole candle.

Always cut the wick down to about 3/8 inch sticking up over the Wedding Favor 3 Tier Wedding Cake candle. A wick that is too long can be a dangerous fire hazard.

Package the wedding favors in small clear bags and tie them off with a ribbon.
