Make Teacup Candles

by on Nov 20, 2008

Teacups with saucers make the world more ladylike and dainty and thus
brilliant. If you combine teacups and saucers and candles you get
either a tea party waiting for a place to happen or these:


Teacup
Candles! Guest blogger Kate over at Design*Sponge made these lovely
little fellows.  So cute, and I think they might be what
ModHomeEcTeacher was talking about in her post about repurposing thrift
store stuff
to make gifts.

Here’s what you’ll need to make them:

  • teacups (saucers optional) – Kate got hers from thrift stores
  • wax – she used microwaveable soy wax
  • candle wicks (at least 1″ taller than your cup)
  • candle scent or dye (optional)
  • microwaveable container
  • hot glue gun
  • thermometer

They look dead simple to make, head over here for the rest of the
skinny
. I was thinking that a pair of these, a few Cupcakes Soaps and
some fancy tea might make a nice present.
