How To Make Bottle Cap Tea Lights

In Kislev, we bring light to illuminate miracles and ignite your dreams. Remember, darkness makes the light shine brighter.

 

Materials

Bottle caps

Crayons (or wax)

Pre-waxed wicks

Tin soup cans

Wax paper (optional)

Small cooking pan

Scissors

Water

Steps

1. If using crayons, remove paper labels, and put them (or the wax) in a clean, empty soup can.

2. Place wax paper on table. Place bottle caps on top, design side down. Place one pre-waxed wick inside each bottle cap.

3. Fill a small cooking pan with a couple inches of water. Place on stove, over a medium-high flame. Place soup can inside the pan to make a double boiler and melt the wax. Once the wax has melted, gently pour the melted mixture into the bottle caps.

4. Let the candles cool for 1-2 hours. Once they’ve cooled, trim the wicks.

5. Enjoy your homemade tea lights, and shine some light in the darkness.
