Let cool until the wax has
the consistency of very stiff dough. With butter knife, slice
the wax lengthwise down the cookie sheet. Each slice should be
about three inches wide. Using the edge of the knife lift the
first strip and fold it in half lengthwise. Place your wick at
one end and begin rolling to make the cinnamon roll. Place aside
and allow to cool. Once completely cool, ladle more wax over
the top.
Apple Turnover Candles
Melt wax using method of choice
and add cinnamon and apple scent. Sprinkle cookie sheet with
cinnamon. Ladle wax onto prepared cookie sheet. Allow to cool
until it is again the consistency of stiff dough. Slice the wax
into four squares, use excess wax to "fill" inside
of turnover. Fold diagonally from corner to corner.
Insert wick immediately!
Allow to cool and then drizzle
more melted wax over the turnovers.
These make great gifts or keep
them all for yourself and enjoy the spicy apple scent throughout
your home. |
