Bone China Candle Cups - finished tea cup candle As I was unpacking in my new home, I decided to do something with some of my bone china collection. I made a few of these candle cups to use as special keepsake gifts. They make nice warm heart filled gifts for an old friend or when visiting a friend you have have not seen in a long while. This is a gift that leaves memories forever.

Supplies:

cups and saucers
melted scented or unscented candle
wick from recycled candle (cut in half) or purchased ones
wooden skewers

Steps:

Wash and shine the china cup and saucer.
Melt wax on a candle hot plate.

When completely melted, place the half wick into the cup.

Carefully pour wax into the cup (s).
Hold the wick up straight by using a wooden skewer, until wax sets. Remove the skewer carefully.

Wax has a low flash point and can catch on fire Melt in double boiler or set can with wax into a shallower pan with a few inches on a low flame. Or in micro or in can set inside electric skillet or on wax melt warmer as suggested.

If on stove or micro stay by and remove from heat as soon as melted. Work slowly and carefully
