Easy to Make Handmade TealightsCreate your own natural long lasting handmade tealights using soy wax or beeswax and non-lead wicks. Great for your essential oil diffuser or where ever a little candle light is needed.
Small ones hold approximately 14 grams of wax
Large ones hold approximately 18 grams of wax To make loose pellet or flake type candles:
1) Cut wick to just slightly higher than the tealight cup.
2) Place wick tab at the bottom of the cup
3) Fill with pellets or flakes.
To make poured tealights:
1) Cut wick to just slightly higher than the cup.
2) Place wick tab at the bottom of the cup. Place a chop stick on either side of the wick resting on the top edge of the tealight, this will keep wick in the middle of the cup. Or, melt a bit of wax and pour into bottom of cup. Place in wick and hold until wax solidifies, this will act as a glue to hold wick in place.
3) Heat bead or flake in a microwaveable glass measuring cup just until wax melts.
4) Fill cup with melted bead or flakes and allow to cool.
