Creative Candles Made Simple An Inside Look Into My New Book

Creative Candles Made Simple an inside look at my new candle making book. 100+ pages to becoming the candle maker you’ve always wanted to be!

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’ve realized I’ve 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. 

However, it’s not just the scent that intrigues me. I am captivated by the size, shape, style, and ambiance only a candle can create. Votives, tea lights, wax melts, tapers, you name it—we have some type of candle in every room of our home. 

I love to give candles as gifts, and I’ve been sharing tutorials and tips to make candles for the last five years. These pressed flower mason jar candles were the first I shared here, followed by 60 more candle making articles. Can you believe that? 

If you have made candles before, you know that candle making isn’t all that easy. Many of my DIY-inclined friends refer to me as the Candle Making Guru for my insight on making candles and fixing just about any candle problem. And that’s how this book came about.

Writing Creative Candles Made Simple

With encouragement from friends, family, and readers like you, I began writing Creative Candles Made Simple just shy of two years ago. In the process, I tested and hand-poured every candle in this book and sought to include everything you need to know to craft candles of your own. I walk you through setting up your workspace, choosing the right candle equipment for accurate results, and so much more. 

I had a fantastic experience writing this book, exploring a wide variety of candle types. You can do much more with candles than just changing the fragrance and container!

In Creative Candles Made Simple, you’ll learn to make cheese mold candles, votives, bowl candles, crackling wood wick candles, tea lights, floating candles, dried flower candles, and coffee mug candles, amongst many others, to delight the senses! 

Creative Candles Made Simple

Altogether, it’s 100+ pages of learning the art of candle making, refining and evolving your skills with each finished candle project, including essential guides and tips along the way.

Thereby, if you have made candles before or have always wanted to, it’s time you became the candle maker you’ve longed to be!

I’ve read a handful of DIY books that didn’t include photos of all the projects, and I wasn’t clear if things came out right. You won’t have that here. As a matter of fact, it’s the exact opposite! 

I had the pleasure of working with the highly talented Taylor Katina, the artist behind Taylor Katina Photography, to create gorgeous imagery of yours truly making candles behind the scenes. Together, we created imagery to inspire your creativity and enthusiasm for candle making. 

Just take a peek at these snippets of photography published in the book –
