You'll enjoy this book

This is the second candlemaking book I have bought since I have taken this up as a hobby. The book offers great candle project ideas along with easy to follow instructions and colorful illustrations. It takes you from the equipment you'll need to make candles, all the way to decorating and putting finishing touches on the candles you've made. Very informative and great for beginners!!!

A truly beautiful book.

Norma Coney has done it again! As with her soapmaking book, THE COMPLETE CANDLEMAKER provides simple and easy-to-follow directions while elevating the quality of the product by providing many beautiful examples and corresponding photos to inspire even the most timid first-timer. The production value of this book sometimes makes it feel like a coffee-table offering; even if you aren't interested in actually making the candles yourself, there is enjoyment to be derived just from getting to see this lovely collection. I eagerly await the next offering from this talented author and craftsperson.
