These adorable, hand-crafted candles can be made in a vintage teacup or coffee mug, whichever is your mother’s beverage of choice.  Perhaps hosting a tea party in honor of your mother and having these as a guest favour or simply part of the table décor might be a nice way to honor that special woman in your life.  Nevertheless, mom is sure to appreciate that they were hand made by you.

Materials:

• Tea cup and saucer
• paraffin wax
• wick centering tool
• wicks
• lavender fragrance oil

1. Prepare the paraffin wax as instructed on the packaging. Let cool  and add fragrance stirring well to disperse.
