These vintage china teacup candles throw out such a warm, soft light and what’s more, they are so simple to make.
Dig out old chipped china cups from the back of the cupboard, or find them for pennies at charity shops or car boot sales.
Don’t worry about matching them either, as the mixed-up style lends a certain charm. Wick and wick holders can be bought cheaply from craft shops or online. For scent and detail, natural perfumes such as lemon and lavender work best.
Here we’ve used rose petals, but you could go for a more festive feel with cinnamon and spicy orange aromas.
