I know this has been done a lot but I made the tutorial years ago and forgot to post it. My friend Clare gave me a really pretty teacup for my birthday but it was chipped and so, I decided to turn it in to a candle.

1
Start by finding a teacup you might like to use.
-
2
Cut a length of wick long enough to touch the bottom of your cup and tie it around a skewer. Place this to the side on preparation.
-
3
Fill your cup with candle wax so that it's almost full.
-
4
Fill a pan with water and leave to boil. Place the wax in a plastic jug and clip to the side of the pan.
-
5
Leave the wax to melt for a few minutes, stirring with a toothpick if you need to break up any clumps.
-
6
Remove from the pan and a few drops of your favourite essential oil.
-
7
Place the skewer with the wick over you cup, so that it's nice and centred and then carefully pour the wax in to the teacup.
-
8
Sprinkle with a little bit of glitter for effect. Not too much or it will burn and leave a horrible smell.

9
You're all done!
