Spotted: Tea Cup Candles

teacup candles

There's something so sweet and nostalgic about vintage tea cups. They're also pretty easy to find. Hit up your local thrift store or flea market, and you're bound to come across some old teacups that have lost their partners. Sasha over at Everything Fabulous shows you how to transform those old tea cups into super sweet candles.

Like she mentions in the tute, you can repurpose old candles that you have around the house for this project. Doing it this way makes it much more eco-friendly than buying new wax to use. If you are using new wax, opt for soy-based candle wax, since conventional wax is often made from petroleum products.
