Teacup Candles..

Yay! I finished my first teacup candles yesterday & I think I may have fallen in love with them. It's been a lot of trial & error, but it's been interesting to say the least! I forgot to prime the wicks, my wax sunk & a ordered the wrong wax... but I got there in the end!

You can now find these in my Folksy shop for just £12! A perfect gift.

So here is the finished product...

You can find these in my shop!

I also started some more yesterday, but unfortunately run out of wax. They're these adorable pink french toile design teacups that I have scented with an interesting mix of rose & vanilla. Hopefully my wax will arrive soon & I can finish them off & make some more! 

Teacup Candles in progress...

I'm rather excitable today... had my first go at candle making! Found some adorable cups & saucers in local charity shops and after seeing ideas in magazines & on other blogs, I decided I'd give it a go!

I wasn't quite brave enough to put a dye in since they are my first ones, but I did mix in some fragrance oil... what's the point in unscented candles!

Here are some pictures of today's adventure:

Keeping the wick in place...

Pouring the wax...(& making a mess)

Got my wax from this great shop www.whicksandwhacks.com, they do lots of candle making bits at really good prices!
