great for beginners
Making candles can seem intimidating, but this video teaches you everything you need to know. These candles make great gifts. My friends and kids' teachers love getting them!
I received this video as a gift last year and was impressed with the amount of information and the clear instructions provided. I guess this to be expected as the presenter has 40 years experience and is a teacher at one of the larger candle supply companies. I have seen quite a few "how to" videos from other companies and most are just awful (one of them didn't even show candles being poured) or were just trying trying to sell you their kits (or both). This video covered a lot of different waxes, wicks, molds, etc and showed the actual process from start to finish. Here are the Pros and Cons:
Pros:
* A lot of information presented in a clear and understandable format
* Covers Soy, Gel, Paraffin, and Blended waxes
* Covered Container, Votive, and Pillar candles
* Provided a lot of tips and tricks that will save time and money
Cons:
* The beginning was a little dry with a lot of information
There are actually quite a few different videos (Projects, Gel, Wedding Candles, etc) produced by this company that I did not see for sale here and I hope they are added soon. They are all very good (I have most of them) and have even given a few of these as gifts to friends who wanted to learn candle making.
