Tomorrow (I think), Good Morning Texas will be airing a segment I pre-recorded a few weeks ago. The theme was sea shells. This is one of the crafts I'll be bringing-tea light sea shells. I'm bringing quite a few crafts. I'll post a link to the segment on
facebook once it airs, but in the meantime....here's a sneak peak.
I found the original idea for these via a photo from
youtube. I'm not sure of the exact step by steps there, I went off the clip photo, but I imagine it's similar. I wanted to keep the wick from being blackened, so I put a tea light on a candle warmer (or coffee cupwarmer-whatever you call it).
I took tweezers and pulled the wick out and placed it in the bottom of the shell.
I then took the tweezers and lifted the tea light (it was too hot to hold) and tipped it over into the shell. It hardened and now I can burn it like a candle. I'm going to put these outside this summer in some sand and flower pots. The great thing is I can refill my shells as many times as I want. Fun and functional. It doesn't get a lot easier than this!
