JINNIE: Hi, I’m Jinnie Choi from Home Made Simple on OWN. And today I’m going to show you how to recycle old vintage teacups into candles. Alright guys, so romance and candles go hand-in-hand. EUGENE: Yes SOLEIL: Right! JINNIE: And we are going to illuminate your bedroom with our custom made candles in vintage teacups. EUGENE: It sounds exciting. SOLEIL: Right?! JINNIE: It is exciting. So here’s a collection of old pieces. SOLEIL: Oh I’ll do this one. That’s beautiful. JINNIE: So all I did was buy a candle making kit, which comes with this metal jug, this thermometer, a block of candle that’s melting right now in the jug, and this wick. The first step is while the candle wax is setting we need to keep the wick straight. So I like to use disposable chopsticks. I’m going to do this, and lay this— SOLEIL: That’s so smart. Jinnie you’re full of tips! EUGENE: Very nice. JINNIE: I use chopsticks for everything. SOLEIL: I LOVE that idea! JINNIE: Now that we have our wicks in place I’m going to add a little bit of dye into our melted candle mixture, like this. I’m going to add a little bit of vanilla. Going to stir it up, get it nice and melted. Do you want to pour yours first? SOLEIL: Sure. JINNIE: This is definitely a supervised craft. SOLEIL: Yes. If you’re doing this with the kids do not get them anyway near the wax. JINNIE: Good. Eugene, I picked some of his lavender—right here in your front yard. EUGENE: Oh, perfect. JINNIE: Plus it goes with the rest of the design. SOLEIL: It’s like Victorian. JINNIE: Yes, I love it. So we’ll let this set for about an hour. And then we’ll trim the wick— SOLEIL: And put it in the room! JINNIE: Yep. SOLEIL: I love it! EUGENE: Excellent!
