Thanks for the advice...I guess I figured that coffee and tea cups could take the heat, so to speak. And I'm really doing this because I love the look of the cups as much as I love the fragrance of the candles. But I'm not going to market these or anything...just for friends and family right now. I've burned two so far for a few hours, and they did OK. I am going to tell people not to let the wax burn all the way down though, just in case.

Thanks for the reply. I can see how candle making can become addictive. So many fragrances...so many colors. When I did counted cross stitch, I wanted all the DMC colors of floss too. I found some old teacups and saucers at a garage sale, and all of a sudden got the bright idea that they would make lovely candles. And great gifts! I went to 3 Goodwills last week and found some more...Senior Citizen's day is a wonderful thing!

Hi! I am a brand new member; was lurking around here all last week. Very interesting and informative forum. I am also brand new at making candles. Before I bought my supplies, I researched many different companies on the web, and finally decided to order from Northstar. Received my shipment promptly and have made two small batches of soy candles. I liked all my fragrance samples except the Angel Wings. Now I am hooked and want to order some more fragrance samples...don't know whether to stay with Northstar or try somewhere else. It seems no one on here uses that company. Is there a reason? The one scent I've burned so far seems to have a good "hot throw"...see I'm learning the candle making lingo already! :smiley2:
