31 Projects Made with Soy, Palm and Beeswax

In Candlemaking the Natural Way, soy, palm wax and beeswax are used to create tastefully beautiful and conscientiously eco-friendly projects. Fragrance, colour and wax additives are explored along with a range of basic techniques including dipped, rolled and molded methods. Beginning crafters in need of a quick and easy gift idea will be just as satisfied as the more advanced candlemaker searching for multi-faceted project inspiration; author Rebecca Ittner's friendly, you-can-too writing style invites both the novice and the aficionado to embrace the world of candlemaking. Not only are the ingredients in this book clean and simple, but they (and the basic candlemaking tools and supplies) are all readily available at standard craft supply stores. This is an affordable, inviting and informative resource as well as an inspiring collection of 31 how-to projects.

Make candles with that personal, imaginative touch. Gorgeous color photographs come together with a complete how-to guide to help you produce any combination of size, shape, color, scent, and style. Experiment with mold, double mold, dipped, rolled, and floating candles, shape them by carving, pinching, and twisting the wax, and add aromatic effects. Decorating techniques include decoupage, embossing, and leafing, while a variety of easily available items such as dried leaves, foil, paint, cork, glitter, and bracelet charms will transform the most ordinary candle into an object of beauty and charm. You'll even learn how to make candleholders and containers from ordinary household items, and individualize store-bought candles. Lavish photographs of gleaming candles in inspiring settings show exactly how to create a romantic evening, a festive holiday atmosphere, or a warm welcome for dinner guests.
