Not a skill I am owning up to, but you could have a go if you wish:
Just thought I would purge myself of this info if anyone wants it as I am moving away from making beeswax candles due to wanting more time and space for other things - I get a fair few orders none-dropship a week so have that advantage customer wise, but do find these sell quite well. By this I mean I have probably gone through 60 sheets of black, 40 sheets red, 50 sheets green, 15 orange, 15 yellow, 25 white, 25 bright blue, 10 lavender, 15 natural, 10 purple (all in around 12 months). The others have sold less well. You can use my text if you wish as that may have helped them sell. You can find rolling instructions on internet and can do a kind of tapered style if your are a bit more inventive.
I did (well, still do until I clear stock) small ones at £0.60 which means a sheet which makes six and costs you say £1.20 with wick and will return you £3.60.
For medium candles get 3 for one sheet at £1.20 and sell for £1.10 each returning £3.30 and large (2 from one sheet) cost £1.20 and sell for £1.60-£1.80 each. - on the negative side they take time to do and you have to pack in boxes and too fragile for jiffy bags unless wrapped in strong cardboard. Plus need to store them.
These sell based on my target audience which is generally aimed at people wanting a bargain - if your site is more upmarket you can sell for higher prices
The sheets to choose are the 8x16 inch (£9.99) for 10 plus add bit for postage and wick. You can get them from:
