To Make These Elegant Wedding Favor XO Hugs and Kisses Beeswax Candle you Will Need:

White or colored beeswax sheets
size #3 cotton candlewicks
XO Hugs and Kisses shaped cookie cutter

The first thing you need to do is to unroll the beeswax. Do this on a flat work surface. You may want to go ahead and plug in a hairdryer near you. This will help to gently heat the beeswax any time you need to.

Now, use your XO Hugs and Kisses cookie cutter to cut out an even number of shapes from the wax. I like to cut out 10 pieces with my XO Hugs and Kisses cookie cutter for this project, but you can do 8 or even 12. Play around with the thickness of your candle so that it works for you.

Now, you need to separate the XO Hugs and Kisses cuttings into two even piles.

From the first pile take one piece of wax at a time and stack it onto another from the same pile and press firmly so that they stick together.

Now, Once all of the wax from pile one is stuck together does the same thing to pile two. You should have two even stacks of beeswax.

When both XO Hugs and Kisses piles are done put a wick between both piles. You will need to press firmly until they are stuck together.

You may find it handy to use the hairdryer at this point to gently stick the XO Hugs and Kisses shaped wax pieces together. Do not melt the wax completely. You don't want to ruin the look of your beeswax. A little heat really will go along way in making the Romantic Wedding Favor shapes stick together.
