Make a tea cup candle

Melt enough crème wax to fill your teacup. Prepare your wick following instructions below. Transfer the molten wax into a plastic jug and pour into the teacup to just below the rim. Leave to cool completely. If a 'well' forms around the wick when it's set, top up with more hot wax. Untie the wick from the skewer and trim.

Vintage teacup, charity shops, car-boot sales or on eBay
