Book Description

December 2001
Make your own candles in your kitchen with readily available supplies, or if you prefer, decorate store-bought varieties. What could be easier than applying temporary tattoos—try boldly elegant tribal motifs or mottos. Embellish a pillar with delicate quilled bouquets of paper-filigree flowers, or put your seal of approval on a candle with medallions of wax. You’ll always have the perfect gift, table centerpiece, or mood enhancer.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Bored with plain, off-the-shelf candles and don't want to go to the trouble of making them from scratch? For an easy approach to filling your home with a wide variety of candles, check out Terry Taylor's Decorating Candles. Using paint, metal mesh, carving, beads, wax appliqués, pressed leaves, and other materials, Taylor and contributing designers adorn pillars, tapers, pyramids, and multiwick candles with a multitude of looks. Directions are basically good and most processes simple, but there is one important caveat: although Taylor cautions us to use common sense when applying flammable materials to candles (choose large pillars that will leave a thick shell of wax around the flame, for example), many of the projects utilize paper, cardboard, ribbons, and other substances that could easily go up in flames. But the designs are generally attractive, and the ones that aren't heatproof can still serve as lovely decorative accents without being lit. --Amy Handy

This review is from: Decorating Candles (Paperback)
Whether you make your own candles to decorate or buy them from the store, this is a great book with lots of interesting projects -- something for everyone. The complexity of projects varies, so if you're in the mood for being creative but don't want to spend the whole day at it, you'll be sure to find something that suits you. Definitely a book to have in your collection.
