TEACUPS AND CANDLES!

 

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS

FRIGHTFUL!

 

PERFECT WEATHER TO STAY PUT AND

ACTUALLY DO SOME OF THOSE

THINGS WE'VE BEEN

SAVING TO FOLDERS ON OUR PINTEREST.

 

 

NOT SURE WHERE EXACTLY I

SAW THIS IDEA BUT IT WAS THE ONE

ABOUT MELTING ALL YOUR OLD CANDLES

DOWN AND MAKING SOMETHING NEW AGAIN.SO I STARTED WITH ONE

BIG OLD RED CANDLE AND I MELTED

IT DOWN IN A POT THAT I PLACED

INSIDE A LARGER ONE WITH WATER

IN THAT ONE. 

 

 

I DECIDED TO USE SOME OLD CHINA TEA CUPS THAT MY MOM

HAD GIVEN ME FOR MY GARAGE SALE

THAT DIDN'T SELL.

 

ONCE FULLY MELTED I POURED IT INTO

THE TEA CUPS

 

I PLACED A WICK DOWN INSIDE THE CUP THAT HAS A METAL BASE- I BOUGHT THESE AT HOBBY LOBBY.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE..

 

I POURED THE WAX IN FIRST AND THEN PLACED IN THE WICK AND HELD IT UP WITH A LITTLE METAL FORK WHICH I PLACED OVER THE RIM OF

THE CUP.

 

I WAITED AT BIT FOR IT TO

DRY AND THEN SNIPPED THE WICK

DOWN TO SIZE. AT THIS POINT YOU

CAN ALSO WIPE ANY LITTLE

WAX SPILLS YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN

ON YOUR CUP.

 

THIS IS MY FINISHED PRODUCT!

I LOVE THESE CUTE LITTLE

ANTIQUE TEACUP CANDLES!

 

 

 

 

 

THE ONE BIG CANDLE WAS ENOUGH TO FILL 4 TEA CUPS!
BE SURE TO SAVE A LITTLE IN THE POT BECAUSE AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN THEY ARE DRYING A WELL FORMS AROUND THE WICK. SO DON'T CUT THE
WICK TO SHORT YOU WILL HAVE TO ALLOW FOR THIS.ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POUR A LITTLE MORE IN AND LEVEL IT OFF!
 

 

THEY ARE GREAT LITTLE DECORATIONS

OR WOULD MAKE CUTE LITTLE

CHRISTMAS GIFTS!SO GATHER UP
THOSE CANDLES YOUR NOT USING OR THE ONES USED DOWN TO THE
 VERYBOTTOM AND MAKE THEM NEW AGAIN. YOU COULD EVEN TRY
LAYERING THEM WITH DIFFERENT FRAGRANT CANDLES!
THE SKYS THE LIMIT!

 

AND THE HOUSE SMELLS DELICIOUS!
