Hubby's first "candle in a mug"

[Fluffy Squirrel]

As some of you may know I mentioned that hubby was looking to expand his candle ranges and was looking into making candles in mugs, he made his first today so here it is...

It's a chocolate candle topped with vanilla whipped wax effect and chocolate to look like a cappucino... this one is in an 18th birthday mug but he has others which he is looking to make this week in time for crafts fairs :D

[Fluffy Squirrel]

and the wick looks like steam :D

I never noticed that until you said it!!! lol

I've just passed on everyone's comments and he's now standing with a big smile on his face and says 'thank you'

[Louise88]

If you've got it flaunt it!! He's really good :mf:

[Fluffy Squirrel]

Thanks Louise... we're hoping that these might do well at craft fairs as he's going to do some Christmas ones too so fingers crossed people like them ;)

[Louise88]

I bought a candle the other day as a stocking filler, it's in a wine glass and smells like mulled wine (or so it says) has he thought of doing something like that? :)

[Fluffy Squirrel]

Yeah I've said he should do them in ine glasses too so we'll see if he listens lol.

Looks fantastic! :D

[Jangle]

Really clever, it makes me want to try doing it too, but I have no time.

It is a real buzz making something that looks so good when finished.

[pepsi]

Wow ! tell him well done. That is fab xxx ;)

[Fluffy Squirrel]

Thanks everyone... he's really pleased with it and has just finished a second one, for a 21st birthday and the fact that he is getting so much positive feedback from fellow crafters is definitely helping. Thank you :D

That's lovely, they should sell really well at craft fairs particularly if he is going to be catering for the ages (18th, 21st etc) they are always popular.

Way to go.

Lisa

:D

Clever idea!! Sue xx:D

[Fluffy Squirrel]

Thanks Lisa and Susie :D

That's brilliant, really clever - is he doing Christmassy ones, they'd sell I'm sure (I'd buy some :)). Can you burn the candle in the mug without the mug cracking though? Or is that a daft question? :confused:

[Pips]

That looks fantastic! Wow, he should be really chuffed with himself! What a great idea.

[Fluffy Squirrel]

Thanks for all the positive feedback... we've tried one of the candles burning in the mug and had no problem at all :D

He's starting his Christmas 'mug' range today so hopefully I'll have a few more to add by later.

Autumn Fairie - if you're interested in the Christmas ones then pm me and we can sort out prices, fragrances, etc :)

What a wonderful piece of crafting. Do we get to see pictures of others as they are completed?

I'm sure they'll go well at upcoming craft fairs.
