How to make teacup candle

Jan 24

Do you have an old teacup set that you don’t often use? Do you have a lot of candle stubs that you are planning to clean out? Do you cherish a love for all things beautiful and recycled? Then this craft is totally for you.

Teacup candles are in vogue and in a romantic setting, they look quite nice! Here’s what you’ll need for making a batch

Wax: Shavings, block, plain candles anything will do

Essential oil: Of your choice

Wick

Pencil

HOW

Melt wax in a heavy bottomed pan with essential oil

Wound one end of the wick to a pencil and leave the other end free- the length of the free wick should be equal to the depth of the cup. Haha! Just make sure from the pencil, the wick reaches to the bottom of the cup in a straight line.

Position your pencil in such a way over the cup that the wick is positioned in center of the cup

Now, carefully pour the hot wax in the cup

Let it rest for 2-3 hours

Have a wonderful time!
