Sarah was feeling crafty and decided to make some candles.
Step 1. Weigh out some beeswax and palm oil. The palm oil helps smooth it out and keep it from cracking.

Sarah learned the hard way that using the nice glass measuring cup is not a great thing to melt the wax in. Cleaning it afterward was tough.

After melting the wax, the next step is coat the wicks.

Once the beeswax is melted, add some palm oil and mix together. Melting in the palm oil makes for a nice smooth consistency and pretty, creamy color.

Stand the wicks up. We decided to use these cute, custom mason jars instead of molds mainly because we don't have any molds. We also liked trying something different.

Once the wax is poured, tie the wicks up so they are straight.

Let them cool over night.
