Brought this as a gift for a friends birthday after her mentioning that she wanted to have a go at making her own, but after having a sneaky flick through I kept it for myself! Purchased the basics mentioned in the book and yesterday I made my first candle! The Mason glass one, and I have to say I'm very impressed. The book is idiot proof and highlights ability level for each candle so I'd say this book is great for first timers as well as people that have done it before as there are quite a few tricky ones too. Can't wait to make more this weekend, I'm looking at empty jars in a whole different way and saving a few quid as I often buy candles but can make my own now!

Having enjoyed making candles as a child, I was really keen to have another go as an adult. This book is really informative and clearly details all the specialist equipment you will need before you begin. At first, this looked like a lot of equipment and almost put me off having a go but actually most of these items can be purchased easily and relatively cheaply on Amazon or in larger craft shops. I love the way the candles have been rated for ease of making and it's great that there are plenty of '1 flame' candles that I will be able to have a go at first before experimenting with some of the more adventurous designs. Each page has a thorough and clear list of equipment needed, along with step-by-step instructions and bright, colourful photographs of each stage and the finished product. I also like the variety of candle designs in this book which range from Flowerpot candles to Christmas Pudding candles. Candles can make great gifts but even more so when they have been handmade and chosen to suit the recipient. First on my list to make is the Beehive candle for my mother-in-law!

I would definately recommend this book if you are in interested in making candles especially for a beginner. It is very comprehensive and lists all of the different waxes that can be used to make candles explaining the pros and cons of each one. There are a number of different techniques listed and throughout the book there are recipes for different candles using these techniques. As somebody who has never made candles I feel happy that I could make a candle using this book. I have already been given some beeswax by a beekeeper friend. The best thing is knowing you can make your own candles and know what ingredients are going into them. What fun and I can't wait to start using this wonderful book.

The book starts by explaining what you need to start making candles and the list is surprisingly small and the items do not cost as much as I thought they would. Everything is explained very well and is really easy to understand from types of wax to wicks.
