Gel Candles: 40 Creative Projects

By C. Kaila Westerman

Candle gel is the hottest new product in candle crafting. This new material (95% mineral oil, 5% resin) is transparent & extremely easy to clean up, & it has a significantly longer burning time than traditional waxes. With this book you will learn the basics of making gel candles in 10 easy steps, & then explore the endless possibilities for creating special effects with layers of color, swirls, bubbles, interesting containers, & embedments, such as glass, shells, botanicals, & opaque waxes. Special techniques include everything from creating rainbow effects to making candles that look like jars of preserves, from designing a seascape setting to producing polka dot designs. Color illustrations.
