• Matching drip catchers for some cups, sold individually or in a set, plus shallow and deep tealight holders as tealight cups

Uses

Typical uses are home-made or restored candle holders, candlesticks and woodwork. The cup fits neatly into place. It keeps the candle standing securely and stops wax from running into the material. This makes candle cups suitable for craft projects as well as for restoring older candlesticks. Use them for Advent, a festive table or cosy evenings at home. The 60 mm version also takes maxi tealights. For large candles you'll find suitable versions in the range.

Help with choosing

When choosing, check the diameter of your candles first. It should match the opening of the cup, so the candle neither wobbles nor jams. For dinner candles and taper candles, narrow cups or conical models work well. For standard and pillar candles, choose the larger versions. A drip catcher is useful wherever dripping candles could mark the surface or the candlestick. This applies especially to taper and dinner candles that burn for a long time. Pick a colour to match light metal, dark wood or existing fittings.

Take your time browsing the range and find the right candle cup for your candlestick or your next craft project.
