I started making candles a little while ago, as a learn-as-you-go type of thing, but mine never came out looking as nice as other people's so I just gave up in the end. After reading this I felt like such an idiot for not getting it sooner, I was doing some of the most basic things wrong!This guide covers everything a beginner could want - different types of waxes, tools needed, stunning pictures, how to use fragrances, when to use different wicks (I didn't even know there were different wicks!), UV inhibitors, all the basic techniques. It then goes on to slightly more advanced techniques: marbled candles, using nature, carved candles, so many ideas that I'd never even thought would be within my realm.The steps are written clearly so even a beginner like me could understand. The pictures are stunning, such beautiful photos of candles that really motivated me to get started again. There's a beautiful picture of some layered candles in there and the steps were so easy to follow mine came out just as beautiful. I'm now buzzing with ideas of Christmas presents for the family! Thank you so much!
