Claire Leavey concludes with invaluable advice on displaying and using your homemade candles to transform the ambience of your home or garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the best so far, 26 Sep 2005
This is the first book I brought when I started to make my own candles and in my opinion is still the best one I own.

All the essential info for starting to make your own candles is in this book, the projects are unique and take you from beginner to expert

A highly recommended read for anyone making candles

4.0 out of 5 stars Good beginners guide, 16 Jul 2004
I was completely new to candle making when I bought this book. It gives the reader an overview of the basic waxes, wicks, additives and utensils, and enables you to start making your own candles right away. You learn how to dip and mold, how to use jelly wax, and how to add color, decoration and scents. The last chapters has a recipe guide for special candles.
If you are an experienced candle maker, then this book is not for you, but as a beginner I found it very helpful and easy to follow.
