3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Guide, June 7, 2000

This review is from: Naturally Creative Candles (Paperback)

A decent guide to candlemaking. The book is rather short on text and consists mostly of pretty pictures, and that's a little irritating. Still, there is enough here to teach you to make your own tapers, although I was rather surprised at how easy it was. Great of you've never done it before.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 2, 2005

By 

Robyn (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Naturally Creative Candles (Paperback)

This looks to be a really beautiful book. But if you are intending to try and make the really nice looking swirly candle o nthe front cover in the centre, you will be very disappointed. The cover of this book is very deceiving. It shows how to make most of the ones advertised on the front, but not the real pretty which is only in the book for display purposes only. I find that highly deceitful to print pictures on a book of how to make candles.
