Turn Mugs Into Gift Candles |
|
|
A good way to use old mugs or even punch cups is to set a few cups on a tray, each one containing store bought votives (normally it takes two). Set the tray in the oven on 250 degrees F and let the candles melt. Remove one of the wicks and leave the other one. As the candle begins to cool, straighten the wick up into the center.
There you have it. A lovely handmade gift for about a dollar! (Cups can be purchased at thrift shop most often for 25 cents or watch for them at rummage sales!)

The problem with putting the candle in the microwave is that sometimes the wick is held down with a metal piece that could cause sparking in your microwave. Oven is probably safest.

That's a good idea! I'm wondering could you put the mugs (non-metal) in the microwave at low power to melt the candles? Would they end up the same as in the oven?
