Happy Day 8 of Blogmas! Christmas Starbucks Cup Candle DIY!

Hey everyone happy Day 8 of Blogmas! Today I'm going to show you how to make a cute Starbucks candle!
First you need some sort of candle wax, I used Red candles and Cream colored candles.
A print out of the Starbucks logo.
Small paper cups.
Candle wicks (I used the ones our of  the red and cream candles)
Crayon for the "topping" I used an orange for caramel.
Gorilla Glue
Hot Glue Gun

The first thing I did was smash up my candles. I used 6 candles. Then I put them in a skillet on low heat to let them melt.
While they were melting I hot glued the candle wicks to the bottom of the cups

 After the candle was melted I let it cool then I poured it into the cups. I used a piece of tape to keep the wick up then I stuck it in the freezer to cool down because I dont have enough patience to let it cool on the counter
 Then with my cream candle I grated it with an old cheese grater and heated it in the microwave in 10 second intervals until it was melted just enough to hold it together
 Then I simply mushed it all on the top of the candle to make it look like foam!
I also used gorille glue to attach my Starbucks logo to the "cup"
  Then using a lighter I melted the crayon on the top of the "foam"


And here it is from the front. I know this lighting is kind of off and it's not very focused I took this picture with my phone.
All in all this was a pretty simple DIY now that Ive finished it. I think the next few that I do are going to be a lot easier than this first one. For day 9 of Blogmas I'm going to show you my dining table centerpiece.
