How to Make Tea Cup Candles with Essential Oils.

First, measure the amount of beeswax that you would like to melt down. I started out with about 230 grams for an 8 ounce tea cup that I used. And then I later did about 340 grams of beeswax that I divided for two smaller tea cups and a cylinder cup.

Then, decide the tea cup you would like to use for the candle. Once you've decided, firmly press the wick down into the middle of the tea cup using the wick setter. After that, add the wick to the wick bar.

Next, melt the wax on your stove top. To do this, make sure that you have your warmer on low. Then, wait for you beeswax to be completely melted, stirring it occasionally.

Wait for the wax to reach about 155 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. You can measure the temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. And don't forget to add some fragrance if you would like!

Now, let your candle harden and cure. The curing process takes about two weeks, so make sure that you place the curing candles in a secure place where they won't be moved.

Finally, trim the wicks a little, light your candle and enjoy!
