I'm Kristy

I adore candles of all kinds, and candle making has become my favorite DIY craft over the years. Anyone who follows my Instagram feed won’t be surprised to hear that I realized I’d become a bit of a candle connoisseur.

What is it about candles that I love the most?

Candles are equivalent to perfume as the last touch to make a personalized, complete, and welcoming space. But, it’s not just the scent that intrigues me. It’s the size, shape, style, and ambiance only a candle can create that captivates me. Votives, tea lights, wax melts, tapers, you name it – we have some candles in every room of our home.

Many of my close friends refer to me as the Candle Making Guru. And if you have made candles before, then you know that candle making isn’t all that easy. And that’s how this book came about!
