Description
🕯️ Your first candle, poured this weekend — and actually burning the way a candle should: right to the edges, scenting the whole room, no tunnel down the middle.
This is the complete beginner's guide from our Aussie family shop: the three waxes worth your money compared honestly, wick sizing finally made simple, fragrance loads and temperatures printed on every project, and eight starter candles that climb from your first soy jar to beeswax pillars and a layered sunset jar.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• Wax wisdom: soy vs coconut-soy vs pure Australian beeswax — melt points, fragrance limits, cure times and quirks (including why beeswax "blooms" and why that's a good sign)
• The wick-sizing table beginners actually need: vessel width to wick size, plus when two wicks beat one big one
• Tina's 9-step master method with exact temperatures for melting, adding fragrance and pouring — and the two-minute stir that makes or breaks a candle's scent
• 8 projects: Lemon Myrtle Soy Jar, Eucalyptus & Peppermint Gum Tins, Sandalwood & Wattle Blossom Jar, Vanilla & Macadamia Coconut-Soy, Pure Beeswax Pillars, Rose Geranium Teacup Candle, Bush Berry Wax Melts, Layered Billabong Sunset Jar
• Curing and first-burn rules, troubleshooting for sinkholes, frosting, tunnelling, wet spots and weak scent, plus printable gift labels with burn-safety lines
⚠️ SAFETY DONE PROPERLY
A full safety chapter: never leaving melting wax unattended, fragrance flash points explained in plain English, what to do if wax ever catches (smother, never water), safe burning rules, and the Aussie-summer storage rules that stop good candles melting in a hot car.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
The scents run Australian all the way: lemon myrtle, eucalyptus and peppermint gum, sandalwood and golden wattle blossom, finger lime and Davidson plum — the bush, the coast and the rainforest, one candle at a time.
