Tea Cup Candle
This DIY Tea Cup Candle is easy to make and gives me a vintage or shabby chic vibe. I am always looking for new molds and containers for my candle making. I was cleaning out the shed the other day and I ran across these adorable tea cups. I think they would make a beautiful handmade gift to give someone.
