Ahead of a tutorial on making tea-cup candles I have taken some pics of the process and the results

I use 100% soya wax, which burns clean and is easily removed from the tableware after burning. This means you can use your piece as it was intended after you have enjoyed the candle!

These look fab. I can't quite work out what you have put inside. It is card or fabric?
