About Us

Candle making began as a therapeutic hobby for me - a way to tap into my creative side and create something practical and, most importantly, consumable. As a mom of two young children, I certainly didn’t need more things cluttering up the house! 

Why beeswax? After years of experimenting with various candles, I discovered that beeswax was my perfect match. It became my go-to for its simplicity and functionality.

Beeswax is naturally scented and unprocessed, offering a clean burn that’s both brighter and longer-lasting. Simply put, it’s my jam.

I craft all my candles using 100% pure, triple-filtered beeswax sourced exclusively from U.S. beekeepers. The wicks are 100% cotton, pre-primed with beeswax for optimal performance and ease of use. Each candle is a labor of love, and I take great pride in ensuring its quality and craftsmanship. Inspired by my love for the outdoors, every candle I make reflects my deep commitment to sustainability and the beauty of nature.

What began in my tiny (and I mean tiny!) kitchen in 2024 has since grown into a small business dedicated to creating beautiful, eco-friendly beeswax candles by hand. You can find me at local craft fairs around Milwaukee, and for those outside the area, I’m happy to take orders through my website. Your support means the world to me!

1207 Wax Works is a reflection of my dedication to quality, nature, and the joy of crafting something that brings peace and warmth to others.
