Publisher's Synopsis
Do you love relaxing in a room lit by the soft glow of candlelight? Do you enjoy lingering in a candle store, smelling practically every candle as you try to pick the one that's the perfect gift for someone special? If so, you're not alone. Candles are a beautiful part of our lives.
Make your own candles at home. It's easy, fun and limitless!
You can make many types of candle at home with hardly any specialist equipment - in fact most of the things you require you've probably already got at home in your kitchen!
I have been making candles for over a decade and all it began as a hobby (after my husband bought a candle-making kit one year for Christmas)
This book is a guide, it's an introduction to candle-making at home and requires no previous knowledge. It covers everything you need to get started: types of wax, wicks, dyes, fragrance oils, equipment, etc. and of course candle-making techniques to make at home. Once you've mastered the techniques you will be on your way to starting a new hobby or a business, like me, and you'll certainly be able to create professional-looking candles for yourself, friends and family at a fraction of the price you'd pay online or in store.
You can run out and get some deals on Christmas presents, of course. But if you really want to give a thoughtful gift that you've made with your own hands and don't love that crazy push for consumerism that this day tends to press upon us, well, you may enjoy homemade candles. These candles are a wonderful homemade gift.
With candles, everything seems magical and relaxing. It creates this majestic and festive atmosphere. That's why it's a good idea to include Christmas candles in your journey to Christmas decorating and presenting.
