Because nothing says thank you for coming like a flicker of fabulous.
💡 Why It Works:
These vintage-glam tea cup candles double as décor and take-home gifts. Use mismatched teacups for a whimsical aesthetic or keep it uniform with a color theme. Bonus? They smell divine and give that "I totally have my life together" energy.
🫖 What You’ll Need:
Vintage or thrifted teacups (ceramic only)
Soy candle wax flakes
Candle wicks (pre-tabbed)
Wick stickers or hot glue
Fragrance oil (like vanilla, lavender, or rose)
Wooden skewer or clothespin (to center the wick)
Pouring pitcher or double boiler

🕯️ How to Make Them:
Prep Your Cup: Stick your wick to the bottom center of the teacup.
Melt Wax: In a double boiler, melt soy wax until fully liquefied (about 170°F).
Add Scent: Stir in fragrance oil (check label for ratios, usually 1 oz per pound of wax).
Pour & Hold: Carefully pour wax into the cup. Use a skewer or clothespin or even popsicle sticks across the top to keep the wick upright.
Set & Trim: Let the candle set for a few hours. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch.
Serve the Glam: Tie a tag around the handle with twine or satin ribbon—add names, dates, or a sassy quote!

Whether your guests light them during a bubble bath or just admire their cuteness on a shelf, these teacup candles are the perfect blend of charm and chill. They’re proof that you can sip in style and set the vibe. ✨
