Advent

This year we are trying something new...making our own advent candles. We started with some sheets of beeswax.





We placed a wick on the wax and then rolled it up!





Some folks required a little assistance...I'm not sayin' who...




Love this image!






Then we added some accoutrements to the candle sticks.






Finally, Dad carved out apples to hold our candles.

Viola'!

Beautiful! Love the idea of making your own candles. We stopped with making the Advent wreath. Maybe next year we can follow your lead! Great job!
