Nightmare

Materials:
Decorating wax strips or preprinted wax logs, plain ball or short
pillar candle(s), craft or butter knife.
Have your child choose a couple of colored wax strip combinations.
Cut each strip into 2 pieces 2 3/4" long and on piece that is 2"
long. Lay a short length of one color over a longer length of
another color and roll them into a tight spiral log, 1/2" in
diameter by 11/2" long. When you've got eight logs use the knife
(adults or older children) to cut each log into as many slices as
you can. Firmly press the wax slices all around the outside of the
candle, starting at the base and working up. Continue placing the
slices as close together as possible until the whole candle is
covered.
