Soya teacup candle
As seen in Vogue this month! Make your own beautifully scented candle using ecofriendly soya wax, natural essential oils, and a vintage china teacup set. You’ll learn about essential oils to create a blend of your choice, then fashion your own container candle. All materials provided (including teacups and saucers) or bring a favourite cup or other container.
Note: As the molten wax needs time to solidify, enjoy a drink or a spot of shopping on nearby Upper Street while your candle cools; or we can post it to you for a small fee.- Level: All levels
