Candle Project Ideas

Take your newly acquired knowledge about making candles and try your hand at some of these projects!!! Several of them have been contributed by members of the candle making survival list I run and credit has been given for the source where appropriate. If you have a project you would like to add to this resource, drop me a line at projectideas@deelights.com. I will need a full outline with step by step instructions and a photograph of the finished candle.
