    You can get candy or cookie molds of Christmas designs spray them with a Pam spray (lightly) (and you have to spray them because the beeswax will stick otherwise) and melt the beeswax (I use an old pan big enough to hold an old glass measuring cup that I don’t use for anything else, you can’t get the beeswax out easily) put a couple of inches of water in the pan, fill the cup with beeswax about half, and heat it so the water gently boils and the wax melts. THIS WAX WILL BURN YOU SO USE CAUTION getting the cup out of the pan, pour it into your mold, and stick a loop of string in the top of the wax so you can hang it. I stick the mold in the refrigerator to cool, and when it is set, just pop it out, and voila, you have a cute Christmas ornament that will last for years.
    You can also use melted beeswax to attach beads to a surface such as a vase, or bowl in designs. It is time consuming but beautiful.

    Is it the kind that you can make lip balms out of? You make like 5 different lip balms and decorate a nice tin or holder to put them in.

    lip balms, lotion bars, melt into large bars and carve, sell it on ebay and use the money to buy gifts.

    Hello.

    Beeswax can be used for a lot of things.

    Use it to waterproof an old tent by rubbing it on the tent.

    Mix a small amount with sawdust to make fire starters for campfires.

    People who sew can use it to help the needle slide easy.

    Archery wax.

    I know you said no candles, but beeswax candles remove odors from the air.

    There are lot’s of uses for beeswax

    Do a search on Yahoo (or Google) for uses for beeswax and you’ll see lots of sites.

    Hope this helps you,
    Robbie
