Have just made my first ever homemade candles in a couple of tea cups i got from a local antique shop and am really pleased with them. The candles are a nice bright red colour and have a lovely cherry scent. One is part of my mums 60th birthday present and the other is for a friend whose birthday is on valentines day. Hope they go down well. am now going to be busy scouring the local charity shops for tea cups and saucers to make more.
