Make and Candle. Snuff a Candle.

Don’t let your paper coffee cup be a one-and-done. We invite you to refill it, repurpose it, and reimagine its possibilities. With a little creativity, a great cup can enjoy a second life – and maybe even a third.
Add cut up pieces of wax to a double boiler. Melt the wax to between 180 and 200 degrees F. For the wick, measure the depth of a used Anthora paper coffee cup and add about 3 inches. Tie the end of it around a chopstick or pencil to allow you to center the wick in the middle of the candle while the wax is setting up. Pour melted wax into the cup, then add your preferred scented oil. It will take your candle several hours to cool at room temperature. When completely cool, trim the wick and tear off the paper cup. (Use another cup to put out the flame).
