The "wax craze" has been gaining popularity in home and DIY magazines for years and has truly taken off in the past two years. In Europe and America, candles are very commonly used, appearing frequently in TV shows and movie scenes. In people’s minds, lighting candles is a very romantic activity. Have you ever tried lighting handmade floating candles in a ceramic bowl under dim lighting, playing your favorite ballad, relaxing your busy body, clearing your mind, sipping on English tea, and quietly enjoying simple happiness? On some days, when romance is in the air, why not experience the ambiance of flickering candlelight with your loved one? Mandy’s book introduces correct and simple candle-making methods for beginners, making it easy for them to get started, rather than the common misleading methods found in the market that look good but don’t burn properly. The book focuses mainly on gel wax, with a small section on paraffin and floating wax, making the content more diverse.
In terms of materials, they are available in various craft stores, either as single material bottles or as material kits (pre-made sets). However, there are many names for them in the market, so it’s important to ask clearly when purchasing—whether it’s frozen wax blocks (which need to be boiled) or QQ glue (which doesn’t need boiling)—to avoid buying the wrong thing! You can try making a small batch first to check the quality of the wax. If this book inspires you to come up with even better ideas, I will be very happy. Special thanks to Teacher Yang Qiqin of Chiin Publishing for bringing the DIY trend into a new realm and making more adorable DIY projects available. I also thank my brother,, family, and colleagues for their help and support, which made it possible for this book to be completed after countless selections and revisions.
