Customer Reviews

Great candle-making book - even for beginners!

As an amateur candle maker, I found this book to be chock full of really great ideas, and easy to do. The ideas are very original and look great in any home. It's full of projects that you will actually want to do, instead of being slanted toward old-school techniques that no one really likes anymore - it's up-to-date! You'll have a harder time finding your supplies at your local craft store than you will completing these projects. Plus, some can be done with store bought candles for those who don't want to get their hands dirty making the actual candles. I highly recommend this book.
