How To Do This
You will need,
One block of bees wax,
Twine,
Heart molds,
Canning jar,

Sauce pan,
Watter.

First, you need to cut the bees wax in cubs small enough to fit in the canning jar. Fill the sauce pan with watter and turn on high. Once the watter is boiling, place the canning jar in and wait till melted. While waiting, cut the twine into 4 in" pieces ( as many as you have molds ) and tie into loops. Now that the wax is melted, pour into the molds and let sit until film is seen on the wax. Make a hole in the wax with a tooth pick, DO NOT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH! Stick the end of the loop in the hole and gently press with finger, in order to seal the hole. Then let dry completely. Now getting the bees wax out of the mold can bee kind of tricky. You can try and pull on the edges hard and then bag it upside down on a hard surface. If that does not work boil 3 in" of watter in a sauce pan ( to make less dishes you can use the same one from earlier ). Pick up the mold with tongues and place in watter. Make sure not to drop it or submerge it in the watter. Take it out in and repeat the pulling and baning until it popped out. Walla!!!
