    Introduction

    What is more romantic than a spa tub ringed with softly lit candles or candles on the fireplace, glowing brightly over your meal? Candles have long been associated with love and romance. They make beautiful gifts for just about anyone and, when scented, they offer you an aroma that brings out the best in people. When there’s a storm and the lights go out, candles make for a peaceful environment as you wait out the storm.

    Not long ago, candles were more utilitarian, used to light rooms at night in homes that had no electricity. Such candles were simple and usually unadorned. They were used for ceremonial purposes in religious ceremonies and, in many parts of the world, they still are used in that fashion. These candles are also unadorned in most cases. You, however, have a wealth of information available to you in this guide to help you make candles that are not only functional but beautiful.

This guide will, of necessity, start with the premise that you don’t know anything about candle making and will show you how to make candles of increasing complexity so you can make just about any type of candle, including dipped candles or tapers, sand candles and pillar candles.

    Container Candles. This is a candle in which you pour the hot wax into a container that has a wick affixed to it. The container you pour the wax into can be anything and the candle forms the shape of the candle. The candle is burned in the container
