I tried to figure out a moment on how to fully utilize a full beeswax sheet measured 20 cm x 42 cm to make a beehive shaped candle by using hand-rolled method. After some calculations, I came out with an idea to make it with 10 cm height by measuring 10 cm, 5 cm, 5 cm, 0 cm on the left and 7.5 cm, 7.5 cm, 2.5 cm, 2.5 cm on the right then cut the honeycomb sheet diagonally into 4 pieces just like below.
In fact, I am not sure yet how exactly the candle will look like when it is done but I start to roll anyway.

| Left the last smallest piece |

| Done! |
