🕯️ How to Make Them:

  1. Prep Your Cup: Stick your wick to the bottom center of the teacup.

  2. Melt Wax: In a double boiler, melt soy wax until fully liquefied (about 170°F).

  3. Add Scent: Stir in fragrance oil (check label for ratios, usually 1 oz per pound of wax).

  4. 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.

  5. Set & Trim: Let the candle set for a few hours. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch.

  6. Serve the Glam: Tie a tag around the handle with twine or satin ribbon—add names, dates, or a sassy quote!
