DIY beeswax candles

Roll up, roll up! Come and roll some lovely, eco-friendly beeswax candles! Beeswax is a pure natural product and candles made from it burn beautifully without smoking. Rolling candles is fun, easy, and suitable for both small and big hands. You can also come to the candle-making course with your child.

During the course, you will get tips on shaping, decorating, and storing candles. The finished products are also a super nice gift idea! Who wouldn’t appreciate a self-made, wonderfully scented, and beautifully decorated candle package? We use high-quality Lahtinen beeswax sheets in our course.
