How to Make Teacup Candles
Supplies:
- Tea cup
- Tea bag tag
- Hot glue gun
- Candle making kit (candle wax and wick)
- Stock pot
Here’s How:
Step 1
Take a stock pot and fill it halfway with water. Put a little bit of salt to make it boil faster.
Step 2
While you are waiting for the water to boil, get your glue gun and wick and put a little bit of glue to one of the wick’s end. Stick the wick at bottom center of the teacup.
Step 3
Next thing we need to do is put your wax in the double boiler and place the double boiler to the boiling water to melt the wax. You can add a scent to the wax if you want during this process.
Step 4
Once the wax is melted, pour it in the teacup and let the wax naturally harden.
And now you have a teacup candle!
