Candles provide the finishing touch for every special occasion 'setting the romantic, the festive or the party mood' and also make great gifts. This book shows you how to make your own using basic or improvised equipment. Starting with the simple one-colour candle, it goes on to encourage to twist, roll, mould, mix, dip, scent, applique or whip your designs with step-by-step instruction. Hints and tips throughout help you to be more ambitious and try a greater number of techniques with confidence. Lavishly illustrated in full colour with over 150 illustrations, this book will provide instruction for the beginner and inspiration to anyone who has already been caught by the candle-making bug.
