This volume is laden with gorgeous photos and helpful tips. Chapter 1, "Candle Style," demonstrates beautiful ways to decorate with all kinds of candles. Chapter 2, "Candlemaking," covers the basic equipment and techniques for creating dipped, molded, rolled, carved, scented, stenciled, gold-leafed, and candy-twist candles, among others. Chapter 3, "Containers for Candles," is full of creative ideas for crafting candleholders; with the help of The New Candle Book, you can display your candles in decorated bottles and jars, a tasseled candelabra, mosaic holders, copper sconces, candle shades, or even an intricately braided salt-dough candleholder--you'll learn to make them all.
The only shame in Amazon is that you can't flip through the full-page, full-color illustrations and really get a feel for how helpful this book is! Learn the basics as well as creative ways to make candles with informative step-by-steps, with nothing left to the imagination.
