Do It Yourself Teacup Candles


This is an easy and inexpensive gift for the holidays.  Dig out your old teacups or pick them up for cheap at garage sales or places like Goodwill.

Supplies You Will Need
Candle wicks
Wax (bought or from old candles)
Teacups (make sure they are sturdy with no cracks or the hot wax can break them)
Fragrance

Step One
Melt wax in a double boiler, add any fragrance you choose.

Step Two
Support the wick standing in the teacup while carefully filling the cup with wax. As the wax cools, it will contract and form a well.

Step Three (if needed)
Add more melted wax of the same color or add another shade.
