Coffee Mug Candle

If you are still looking for easy crafts to fill those stockings, give this one a try. Other than dealing with hot wax, it couldn't be easier.

Materials:

**see through coffee mug

wax
brown color chips
wax for froth
coffee scent
coffee mug
tea candle
white crayon

How to:

1. Combine the melted wax with the coffee colored chips and then pour into a mug leaving room for the froth which is to come. Allow to cool somewhat before pouring into glass mug. Allow to harden.

2. Mix a few spoonfuls of melted candle wax with the grated white crayon. Whip it up until it resembles foam. Add a few drops of coffee scent to wax.

3. Spoon over the coffee colored wax that is now hardened in the mug.

4. Before the froth has hardened, place a tea candle into the froth which can be replaced as needed.

Enjoy... Karen
