Candle terminology, methods of making them, wick choice and proper burning, this book goes into it all. I did not know the difference between cored wicks, flat braids, or square braids until seeing it here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat really stands out is that there\u2019s an entire chapter dedicated to troubleshooting. Whether you are wanting to create the appropriate burn times for your candles or correct an aesthetic flaw, you can find an explanation in this book. There\u2019s even a section in a later chapter about storing and repairing candles, which I haven\u2019t found in many other books.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nA long list of supplies as well as a readling list of more candle making resources makes this book a true companion guide and overall good reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comprehensive beginner\u2019s guide covers the entire candle making spectrum. If you want to make all natural candles or are okay with using additives in your candles, this book describes either approach. You can learn the basics and then put your own spin on the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After covering foundational concepts, like the history of candles and which supplies you\u2019ll need, the author shares her 9-step candle making process. Additional tips include making candles in a coffee cup or tobacco tin, and even the process of creating a wooden wick candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some types, like pillar candles, need to be harder in order to hold their shape while burning. The author explains the use of hardening agents, and options for coloring and scents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI think this is a great starter book that would be worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candle terminology, methods of making them, wick choice and proper burning, this book goes into it all. I did not know the difference between cored wicks, flat braids, or square braids until seeing it here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
What really stands out is that there\u2019s an entire chapter dedicated to troubleshooting. Whether you are wanting to create the appropriate burn times for your candles or correct an aesthetic flaw, you can find an explanation in this book. There\u2019s even a section in a later chapter about storing and repairing candles, which I haven\u2019t found in many other books.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A long list of supplies as well as a readling list of more candle making resources makes this book a true companion guide and overall good reference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This comprehensive beginner\u2019s guide covers the entire candle making spectrum. If you want to make all natural candles or are okay with using additives in your candles, this book describes either approach. You can learn the basics and then put your own spin on the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After covering foundational concepts, like the history of candles and which supplies you\u2019ll need, the author shares her 9-step candle making process. Additional tips include making candles in a coffee cup or tobacco tin, and even the process of creating a wooden wick candle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some types, like pillar candles, need to be harder in order to hold their shape while burning. The author explains the use of hardening agents, and options for coloring and scents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think this is a great starter book that would be worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
