Back in 1998 I did this project with my son’s Cub Scout Den. It was so successful that I wrote it up and published it to the web in December of that year. I have just rewritten and modernized the project article.

Beeswax makes a surprisingly durable Christmas tree ornament and we still use these on our tree each year. The materials are few and they are very easy to make. They are a great alternate use for your candle making materials and are made in low cost chocolate molds.

By warming these gently with a blow dryer after unpacking them each year, the shine and beeswax aroma is renewed.

This technique also works well for other seasons and occasions.
