How to Make A Great Soy Jar Candle: Revealing My Favorite Candle Suppliers

how to make a great jar soy candleIntroudction about candle making and then safety instructions about canldes.Shows photos of how low to cut the wick before burning and it shows you why.Different utensils are mentioned and what their purpose is.Tells you how to prepare a few days in advance so everything is ready to go. Process itself in steps is explained in detail.Listing of suppliers is also included along with other works by the author.

Good instructions, however when I went through my craft books, this is not the one I kept.

This is an informal instruction booklet on the ingredients, supplies, and method to pouring soy wax jar candles. Not being written in a step-by-step manner and scattered with personal experiences and opinions, it's important to highlight the "recipe" as you go so you can follow it in order. The information included covers wick types and how to secure the wick in the jar, melting the wax, adding fragrance and color, pouring the wax, and burning the candle. Burning the candle is just as important as making it.Probably the most valuable part of the book is the list of vendors from which to order the necessary supplies, and the reiterated point that better quality supplies make better quality candles. This is true of any product.

I feel bad saying this, but you can find all the information that is in this book for free online. I was hoping this book would give me lots of additional tips for perfecting my soy candles but it didn't have any information that wasn't already available for free. Even though the price was reduced (I bought it for $3) it's only 32 pages and takes about 10 minutes to read. It's more like a pamphlet than a book. Not worth the purchase in my opinion. If you want to make soy candles, just search for free videos online. Candlescience has a few good videos that are free to watch.

At the end of the Christmas holidays I always make candles together with my two kids. Just some ordinary candles with ordinary cotton wicks and made from left-over wax. It appeals to my sense of not wanting to waste anything, and it is wonderful to see the results. The author is right when she says the quality and type of wick is crucial..!I had never heard of soy wax, so was intrigued by this book. I think it is a great guide containing all I should know when I want to try and make soy jar candles. I do not want to wait for the Christmas holidays this time!

I would have liked to have had some photos with this ebook, just for breaking up the monotony of the print. I suppose that the author decided that the photo on the cover would be enough, and essentially it is. I just like some dressing in my print! But the book has clear instructions for making the candles and where to buy supplies....and very important tips and facts about the actual burning of candles to make them last longer, burn better, and emit their fragrances better. I can't wait to make some candles!

For the price I paid ($2.99) I was not impressed with this book. I expected more helpful information, pictures, etc. I was left scratching my head, and in search of more books to better explain the process of candle making. I would look for a much better book regarding candle making if you've never made candles before (which I haven't.).

This author wrote a very good book, her instructions were well written and it was evident that she had made many candles. I learned alot about candles even if I never ventured into candle making, that was well worth the time it took to read this book. I am happy I have this book available so that when I do decide to try candle making I won't need to search for one with good and clear instructions.

Great book easy to follow

Very basic information so if you have made candles before and want more information, this book is not for you. As for the suppliers list, information given is about suppliers close to her geographic location so not as valuable to those who do not live near her. Information given can be found on the internet and no "tips" given that justify buying the book.

..... and that included making cup of tea. Very short book with some helpful safety info for absolute beginners.Don't think you are going to get any insider supplier tips or and creative ideas though.

Very good tips and very clearly written. Thank you

Good book lots of good info
