Series: How To Basics

The complete guide to candle making, from equipment and materials to finished product. Step-by-step photographs and expert advice guide you through the process, showing you how to avoid common mistakes along the way. Step-by-step colour photographs and descriptive detail make this book indispensable for beginners looking to create beautiful and functional scented candles on their very first try, and for experienced crafters who want to sharpen their skills.

Precise instructions eliminate the guesswork that too often creeps into how-to books and help you avoid common mistakes. Gleaned from the expertise of master candle makers, this guide presents everything a novice needs to know to get started crafting traditional tapers and moulded candles, container and rolled beeswax candles, and interesting variations on each.

Includes guidelines for buying tools and materials, preparing the work space, and working safely and effectively, as well as suggested shopping lists and information on scents and dyes. New edition includes a gallery of candle-making projects.
