A good way to use old mugs or even punch cups is to set a few cups on a tray, each one containing store bought votives (normally it takes two). Set the tray in the oven on 250 degrees F and let the candles melt. Remove one of the wicks and leave the other one. As the candle begins to cool, straighten the wick up into the center.

Hi - just in case someone is reading this "old" suggestion:
Just found this safety tip on the "Dear Webby" site:
Keep in mind that as the wax cools in cups, it often forms cavities, air bubbles. If you don't lance them with a hot nail, then you may have a fire bomb. When hot luid wax runs down into a hot air cavity,it often shoots a geysir of hot wax past the flame, where it ignites.
It doesn't happen every time, but since you only die once, once is quite enough. Always lance the center of candles, stick the wick in then and pour hot wax into the hole made by your hot nail.
