Product Description
From Amazon
Though quite brief, this guide manages to touch upon the important basics of getting started in candle making. Most of the designs are fairly standard though nicely executed; a few of the ideas are a bit more unique, such as little clown candles molded from modeling wax to perch atop a child's birthday cake, jeweled pillars adorned with gold wax and colorful beads, or a bowl of real-looking fruits that are actually all molded candles. A more thorough introduction for those new to the craft can be found in Sue Spear's excellent Candle Making in a Weekend, but Candle Making Made Easy does provide a reasonably good beginning. --Amy Handy

Nothing easy about this,
By Jane Mitchell "Candle Lover" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Candle Making Made Easy (Hardcover)
The pictures are beautiful, but that is the only good thing I can say about this book. The techniques seem very complicated and are not explained or illustrated enough. This book does not even mention beadwax which is what I intended to use and think is probably the easiest way to make candles in containers. Also, not nearly enough information on adding scents. If you ask me, this book was a waste of my money.

Pretty good overview,
By Nancy R. Toner (Exton, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Candle Making Made Easy (Hardcover)
I found this to be a very good book for a beginner which I am. It gives a good overview of what you need and how to use them. I also like that it gives a good bit of information about some advanced techniques. In summary, not great but enough to get me started -- which was my goal.
