As I embark on a candle making adventure, I picked up Candle Making in a Weekend by Sue Spear to pickup some pointers.
This book was a good overview of candlemaking. It had instructions for a wide range of projects. The instructions were simple and easy to understand, plus there were helpful pictures. I feel that if I wanted to make very intricate candles, I would be able to with this book’s instructions.
In fact, this book was a bit more than what I needed. We are only planning on making beeswax candles since we have access to beeswax, and they are the best. We will be focusing more on simple, clean candles rather than making fancy ones with carved wax, wax paint, etc. But still this book provided helpful hints that we will utilize in making our simple beeswax candles. I would recommend this book for anyone that wants to get into candlemaking at any level of complexity.
