DIY Acorn Cap Floating Candles

Come make something a little unusual with beeswax! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make charming floating acorn-lid candles using locally sourced beeswax (and acorn lids) from a local beekeeper. You’ll get to choose from a variety of beeswax colors and create your own collection of these tiny, natural candles—perfect for winter tablescapes, holiday gatherings, or giving as handmade gifts. Each participant will go home with 12 floating acorn-lid candles that you made yourself, plus a bonus beeswax surprise that you’ll also make during the workshop. Come spend an afternoon playing with beeswax, learning a little about where it comes from, and leaving with something genuinely unique.
