Up cycled China Cup Candle Holders. Hello friends, so how are you today? Do you love upcycling? Turning something old into something new? Taking something you do not use and making it useable again?
If so, you will like today’s post (I hope!)
Are you looking for an easy way to up-cycle some old china cups and saucers? I don’t think it gets much easier than this? And candle holders are always much needed.
How To Upcycle Some Old Cups And Saucers In Minutes: Upcycled China Cup Candle Holders:
Take some old cups and saucers. Old, odd, sets or even chipped ones.
Matching sets or odd sets.
Mix and match.
Some big chunky candles that would fit nicely on a saucer.
Make sure they fit nicely though, especially if you are going to light the candles.
Turn your cup upside down, place the saucer on top and candle on top of that!
How fun!?
Up cycled China Cup Candle Holders:
If you plan to lite the candles I would stick the cup and saucers together with super glue as you do not want them to move when lit.
If just for display they will be OK like this in case you change your mind and want to start using them again. Upcycled China Cup Candle Holders. How sweet!?
What do you think of this idea? So do you like it? Fancy making some?

I love this idea! My mother has quite a few tea cups and saucers in her cabinet that are just collecting dust. I wanted to use them to make candles out of them (as in melt wax inside) BUT your brilliant idea is easier, prettier, and more affordable. Thanks for linking this up-cycling project on Happiness is Homemade.
