My latest creation is teacup candles……so easy to make, all you need is a teacup, 1 cup of wax, scent, coloring (optional), medium saucepan, glass bowl, thermometer, a wick and a spoon.
1. Fill the saucepan with about 2 inches of water and then place the bowl in the saucepan to create a double boiler.
2. Then put the wax in the bowl and turn the oven on to boiling point. Place the thermometer in the wax.
3. Wait till the wax reaches 80 degrees then add your scent and colour.
4. Then take it off the heat and wait for it to cool to 60 degrees. While waiting attach your wick with a little wax to the bootom of your teacup. When its reached 60 degrees your can poor it into the teacup. (Handy hint: I get an ice cream stick and punch a hole in it and thread the wick through it and rest it on the edges of the teacup to keep the wick upright while pouring the wax in).
5. Let it rest for a couple of hours and there you have your very own teacup candle.
