1. These are the soy tea-cup candles that I made! you just buy soy wax from somewhere like Spolight, melt it above bubbling water on a stove (in a metal bowl not touching the water) and then add scent/colour/flowers anything you please! set up your wick in the teacup, pour the wax in & then wait! they were so fun to make and they smell amazing. I havn't burnt mine yet because i think it just looks so pretty as it is.
2. Some of my little succulents!
3. succulents can make a great centerpiece for a dining table. I just picked these ones off near my local beach (looking a bit shifty with a pair of scissors and a tote bag) and popped them in this vase! voila!
4. My pride and joy planter! my mum picked this old wooden crate up for me at our local tip-shop. To make it into a planter i bought some coconut filler (which you can get from your nursery) and filled the box with it. The succulent in the middle i bought, however the rest have been picked.
5. Some flowers/leaves i picked. I've just used Fowler's Jars to put these flowers in, you should be able to pick them up super cheap at an op-shop or a tip-shop, i just adore them.
6. Growing succulents on my mantlepiece
7. This is my 4 Willow tea-cup set, i scored these 4 at an op-shop for $10 for the set! and they are in perfect condition, not even chipped. I have used wood glue to stick the cup to the saucer and what i plan to do with them is plant them with little succulents. They make really cute gifts. I am planning to sell these at a market near my parents house in Cygnet Tasmania.
