craftiness :: pretty teacup candles

Aren't these wonderful? With very little effort you can take those pretty china cups and saucers that you have hidden away in your cupboards and never use and turn them into something functional and pretty. Check out the easy as pie directions on making these sweet teacup candles over at Design Sponge. They shouldn't take more than a few minutes to whip up and use very few ingredients. I think that these would make a great hostess gift as well as a thoughtful gift for the shabby chic lover on your list. And while you're at it, make a couple for yourself too ;) They're JUST COOL!
