DIY Earl Grey Tea Soy Candle – Cute Gift for Tea Lovers!

Homemade candles can be beautiful, and they can serve as a great gift. A DIY earl grey tea cup candle can be an excellent project for the holidays. There are many steps for creating the candle. First, wax must be measured properly. The wax can melt, and if there is room after it melts, add more wax. Secondly, the wax needs to be heated at 185 degrees and it needs to be heated for 30 minutes. Third, a hot glue gun needs to be used to affix the wick. Fourth, after the wax is heated it should be cooled, and essential oil should be added. Essential oils can add a beautiful scent to the candle during this stage. Fifth, let it cool to 125 degrees and add a little tea to the top. Let the candle cool overnight.

Key Takeaways:

• You can make candles with ease, it may not have the glossy finish of store bought candles, but they burn nicely.
• You will want to heat up your wax in a double boiler to get it to the perfect temperature.
• Make sure you place your wick in the ceramic mug to resemble the earl grey tea, and pour.

“Candle making is quite the science and everything – from the temperature of the wax to the temperature of the room – can impact the success of a poured candle.”
