Hello, I am Ricki Jill from Art @ Home writing a guest post for Nicki!
When Nicki asked me to write a guest post (after I volunteered, of course ;P ), I was thinking: What would be a fun idea for a post? I so admire Nicki for her ability to make her home look stunning with very little money. Soon I was inspired by an article in Country Living UK September 2012. Here is my inspiration:

This is from Country Living's Simple Pleasures column. I love the colorful teacup candles!
I bought this Spode teacup and saucer from a flea market. I thought the colors would be perfect for an autumn candle. I melted down some small orange, pumpkin-scented candles in a saucepan. I carefully removed the wicks, placed one wick in the teacup, and poured the wax.
Viola!
Now that I know how to make them, I wish I had a couple more teacups! I like the grouping in Country Living.
Until next time...
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteThat's so cute and I agree the cup is perfect for fall. I bet it smells great too.

ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful teacup, Ricki! It was a super idea to use it for a Fall candle.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteI have this in the works already too! My sister is pouring me one with one of my garage-sale find tea-cups.
She is also going to teach me to make candles for myself. Can't wait!
They are perfect in these tea-cups!
Enjoy!
