The Complete Candlemaker: Techniques, Projects & Inspiration

This is the second candlemaking book I have bought since I have taken this up as a hobby. The book offers great candle project ideas along with easy to follow instructions and colorful illustrations. It takes you from the equipment you'll need to make candles, all the way to decorating and putting finishing touches on the candles you've made. Very informative and great for beginners!!!

Norma Coney has done it again! As with her soapmaking book, THE COMPLETE CANDLEMAKER provides simple and easy-to-follow directions while elevating the quality of the product by providing many beautiful examples and corresponding photos to inspire even the most timid first-timer. The production value of this book sometimes makes it feel like a coffee-table offering; even if you aren't interested in actually making the candles yourself, there is enjoyment to be derived just from getting to see this lovely collection. I eagerly await the next offering from this talented author and craftsperson.

I saw this book in the store as I was walking by and picked it up. That's when my hobby with candles began. The design is wonderful and Coney covers alot more than other books I've seen with great visual examples necessary to get inspired.

This book give you some important tips which some other don't have. If you really want to be the great candlemaker, please keep this one in your library.

I would highly recommend this book to any candle maker. Coney is the candle guru. I often refer back to this book more than any other.
