The Dreidel Company Make Your Own Hanukkah Beeswax Candles, Complete DIY Chanuka Candles Starter Kit (DIY 24 Candles)

Just like I used to use to make my own when I was younger. It’s a complete package with different color waxes and has wicks with it. The are packed in a wax paper so they don’t stick to each other. I initially bought these as we went candle crazy for Halloween and 90% of the candles were too loosely fitting inside the candle holders so I thought of buying sheets of beeswax and came across these cut off lil strips and molded around top edge of the candle holders and carefully pushed the candles down into them for a nice tight fit. It’s exactly as described and also a great solution to a common problem. We’ll worth the money and recommend to get this for yourself as a fun lil project to do with the kids in your life.

Beautiful colors with good variety. Easy instructions. My eight year old granddaughter did a fine job, but the wax kept breaking when the four year old tried, and she was very frustrated.

We buy and make these each year to use with our Advent Spiral from Treasures from Jennifer. It's a lovely family tradition. I like getting the 48 count so that we have plenty to burn and replace.I find this to be very kid-friendly. It's easy for 7+ to do, and younger kids can also roll them with a little bit of coaching. It's important to warm your hands and the wax and be patient, so that the wax doesn't crack when rolling.

Buyers BEWARE. We typically use another brand, however I purchased this brand this year because of the slightly better price. I'm sorry to say that we were unable to make our own candles this year (an annual tradition) due to the horrible quality of the wax. The wax was so dry that it crumbled when trying to roll the candles...In addition to the poor quality, this set only includes 24 candles - a ridiculous number, and not nearly enough candles to last 8 nights of Hanukkah. No Hanukkah miracle could solve this problem...

4.5 year old son enjoyed this festive activity. He broke a couple of the wax sheets trying to squeeze the wax tighter around the wick which his little bro played with and later I rolled some of it into a ball. We haven’t lit any of the candles to see how they burn… as of now I Would purchase again and I guess that is solely based on the enjoyment of making something together… Hoping they burn cleanly. And now, I’m seeking more variety in colors and sizes of wax and wicks. I think this would also make a sweet holiday gift for the right maker.

Need some sort if base though. I used foil.

I had wanted to use the beeswax sheets to decorate other candles. But the beeswax was so stiff and unpliable that it can’t be used for that purpose, much to my disappointment. I’m not sure it can even be rolled into tiny candles.

The candles turned out great! The kids had fun making them, and they worked great for Hanukkah. It did take some practice before we got it right. I think we all broke a piece of wax not getting it warm enough to bend. Once they are warm you need to bend them into shape immediately, or they crack when bent. We had to throw away a bunch of the broken ones, which is why I give it 4 stars.
