I wanted to share with you what I made for several of the people on my Christmas list this year...teacup candles. I have been seeing pictures of these online for years and have thought they were so adorable, but never got around to actually making them until now. I bought the teacups at Home Goods, but you could probably find much cheaper ones at any second hand shop. I love this gift because you can really personalize each one by using different teacups, scents and wax colors. They were also very simple and fun to make. I made one for both of my sisters and for my boyfriend's grandparents. Sorry the picture below is not the best quality...it is difficult to get a good picture of a lit candle, haha. I am also not the best photographer and currently only have my phone camera. One of my new years resolutions is to learn how to take better photos!
I used instructions from design sponge to make these candles.
Currently I am working on a couple of crochet projects...The first being a baby blanket for one of my friends who just found out she is pregnant and the second is a star trek coffee cozy for my brother. I will post pictures later!
