Do you know how to make a penguin out of beeswax?

Question

This girl in my class is bugging me to make one for her :P

Answer 1

You could get a candy mold of a penguin and siften the wax, and press into the mold. Then you could wrap a little bit of black cloth around it for a tuxedo.

Answer 2

You could try some of these lessons, only use beeswax instead of polymer clay (colored, if it comes that way or you can color it).  I'm not sure which of these lessons is the best, and some links could be broken by now... just check them out to see for yourself:

Answer 3

Thats hard, because beeswax is yello, and your penguin will look like a pumped up baby duck.
