Decorating techniques include decoupage, embossing, and leafing, while a variety of easily available items such as dried leaves, foil, paint, cork, glitter, and bracelet charms will transform the most ordinary candle into an object of beauty and charm. You'll even learn how to make candleholders and containers from ordinary household items, and individualize store-bought candles. Lavish photographs of gleaming candles in inspiring settings show exactly how to create a romantic evening, a festive holiday atmosphere, or a warm welcome for dinner guests. 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.

Craft your own, which beautifully combine color, shape, and fragrance. In addition to instructions for melting, molding, and dying the wax, an aromatherapy guide will help you choose the right scent for that special ambience. Consider frankincense for meditating; rosemary for purifying; lavender for overcoming insomnia; geranium for celebrating; and juniper for invigorating. Decorate by adding pressed flowers or embedding seashells in the candles, paint or stencil them, and then make a little magic with unusual ideas for displaying and enjoying your tapers or votives (including bathing by candlelight!). There are extraordinary holiday tips, too.84 pages (all in color), 8 1/4 x 11.
