Title: Scented Candles
Author: Gloria Nicol Pages: 96 Cover: Hard Publisher: Laurel Glen Publishing Copyright: 2003 Summary:
Candles in the home are more popular now more than ever. Used as intimate design accents and as inviting aromatherapy for every room in the home, candles can enhance any decor. Scented Candles offers a range of 20 delightful projects suitable for all uses, moods, and occasions. Grouped by scent "families" and categorized by season, these easy-to-make candle projects set the mood - from the refreshing scents of spring and summer candles that feature floral and fruity perfumes, to the rich warm fragrances of fall and winter, which are dominated by spicy, resinous, and woody aromas.
Scented Candles details variations for each project to encourage experimentation, making it easy to customize aroma recipes to create the desired effect. Choose from cleverly designed candles for those special nooks throughout the home and create personal home perfumes for any mood or occasion. A directory of aromatherapy and essential oils provides a guide to choosing the right scent for the desired effect - from relaxing lavender and rose oils to refreshing, zesty citrus scents such as lime and geranium - with tips on mixing and fragrance recipes.
Detailed instructions for every project are accompanied by clear step-by-step photography to demonstrate the simple methods used to create all shapes and sizes and types of candles. Create a blush-pink bedroom candle with romantic rose or lavender; top off a holiday table setting with traditional handmade dipped candles in sophisticated amber and cardamom scent; or make jasmine gel candles to add freshness to an outdoor space.
