Teacup Candles

After swooning over teacup candles for a long time, but never buying one. I thought it was about time I made one myself. I have searched a number of charity shops looking for vintage china, but always found it wasn't exactly what I wanted or was too expensive, perhaps I am looking in the wrong place?




I found this teacup in Sainsbury's and decided that this was the one. I set about making the teacup candle the next day. It was relatively easy, however, I would want to add a fragrance to it next time. I bought the wicks from Ebay and the wax was recycled from old tealights.




 I am really pleased with the finished product and now have another teacup ready and waiting. 


And for those of you who know I can't complete a task without *something* going slightly awry, here's what happened!

  2. They are really easy and I think any normal person wouldn't have a problem with keeping the task simple. I just seem to have little mishaps along the way! Go for it! x
