DIY: Crayon Teacup Candle


Finished Project 
 
                 
   Supplies:
Tea Cup or other glass container 
Candle Wicks ( On Amazon for $3)
Glue
Crayons



I got this one from Value Village for only $3.99


Take one of the wicks and put a dab of glue, on the 
bottom and stick it to the bottom of the teacup, and let it dry.


Pick the Crayon colours you want the candle wax to be, 
 I decided to pick colours that would blend together easily.


Take the wrappers off the crayons and put them into a microwave safe bowl.


Heat the crayons 1 minute at a time, stirring in-between, it took
 me about 4 minutes for the crayons to fully melt.


Remember to use a oven mitt when taking out the 
bowl, and while pouring the wax into the container. 
The bowl and wax are extremely hot.


Have someone hold the wick while you carefully pour 
in the wax around it. If you don't have anyone to hold 
it just move it quickly after the wax is poured in so it
 won't set in the wrong place.


Hold the wick while the wax dries, until the wick is able to stay in place 
without you holding it. Let it sit for a few hours until the wax is completely
 cooled, Cut the wick so it is only about half an inch tall.


Light your new candle and place it beside a cute owl, or anywhere
 in your home & enjoy. It lets off a slight crayon smell, 
which i actually really enjoyed.
