Turn a shot glass in to a lovely tea light candle.
1. Break up all your old, half burnt candles in to a measuring jug. You can use discoloured wax if you are planning on adding some wax dye. 2. Place the measuring jug in to a pan of boiling water and leave to melt down. 3. When the wax has almost melted down completely add your wax dye.



4. Cut lengths of wick to fit the shot glasses. 5. Place the wicks inside the shot glasses. Make sure only to use glass shot glasses, plastic ones will melt. 6. When the wax is melted down pour a measure in to each shot glass, be careful not to submerge to wick.

7. When the wax is almost completely set, move the wick in to the center of the glass and then leave to fully set.
