Beeswax Star Candles

This Fourth of July, brighten your table with a centerpiece inspired by two highlights of summer: fireworks and our star-spangled banner.

Updated June 28, 2018

Note: To use them as candles on a birthday cake, first place wick string between the beeswax layers. To do this: Vertically press in the end of the candlewick above the skewer, so the skewer and the wick meet. Trim wick to 1 inch above the top of the beeswax star.
