  This collection of candle-making projects contains step-by-step instructions, illustrations and templates on using candles for many different occasions. The book is divided into four main chapters which deal with different aspects of candles. The first covers basic candle-making techniques and equipment, and takes a look at the vast array of different types of candles available today. Projects include simple rolled beeswax candles, marble-effect candles, and scented candles using essential oils. The second chapter discusses decorating candles, and projects include using pressed flowers, herbs or leaves, and three-dimensional designs created by carving or embossing with bark twigs or small stones. Chapter three suggests ways to use candles as table decorations and displays for various occasions, and the final chapter shows ways to make candle holders and containers from natural forms, and projects include the use of fruit and vegetables and mini rock garden candle arrangements.
