Your guests are seated, the lights are dimmed – and the taper candle wobbles in your homemade candlestick. This is exactly where candle cups for taper candles come in: the silver candle cup with a 22mm inner diameter gives every candle a secure, upright stand and catches dripping wax before it reaches the wood or tablecloth. Available in sets from 4 to 100, it's made for your next craft project – from a single Advent wreath to a small batch.
What changes for you
- Your candles stand securely and straight, because the cup, with an inner diameter of approx. 22mm and an inner height of approx. 9.5mm, holds the taper candle reliably in place.
- No more scraping wax off your candlestick – the metal cup catches dripping wax and protects wood and tablecloth.
- You can build your candle decorations without any guesswork, thanks to clear fitting sizes: an approx. 24mm hole for the rim to sit flush, or approx. 22.62mm for a tight press fit.
- The silver-coloured tinplate has a subtle shine and works with both light and dark materials.
- You can count on consistent quality even for larger projects, because the cups are made in the Erzgebirge in Germany.
Why this candle cup makes a difference day to day
A candle that sits firmly and straight changes the whole look of the table: instead of keeping an eye on it, you simply enjoy the warm light. A piece of wood with a drilled hole becomes a taper candle holder – finished with a silver shine and neatly made. That way, homemade candle decorations feel all of a piece, whether on an Advent wreath, in a lantern or on a table laid for dinner.
Material & finish
The candle cup is made of silver-coloured tinplate and comes from the Erzgebirge – a region with a long tradition of candle and Christmas decorations. The approx. 2.2mm rim all the way round neatly finishes off the hole and gives a tidy overall look. Please note: the material is not rustproof, so the cup is intended for indoor use.

How to use the candle cup
- Making candlesticks: drill a hole, insert the cup, pop in a taper candle – and by evening your handmade piece is ready on the table.
- On the Advent wreath: four cups fitted, four candles set straight – and every Sunday you can relax as you light the next one, with no wax in the greenery.
- In lanterns and mood lights: the candle sits firmly and straight, and the light stays steady – even when there's movement at the table.
- Repairing older candle holders: if the original cup is missing or damaged, simply fit a new one and your favourite piece is back on the table.
- For your workshop, craft group or small manufactory: with sets of up to 100 pieces, you can make candlesticks in batches with consistent fitting dimensions. There's no need to measure each piece again.
- In cafés and restaurants: your own table lights with securely seated candles welcome your guests to an inviting table.
Good to know about candle cups
The Erzgebirge has been known for generations for its candle and Christmas decorations – from candle arches to Christmas pyramids, warm candlelight is a firm part of the craft tradition there. These cups come from this production too: a small component with plenty of experience behind it, giving your own candle decorations a neat finish.
Care & durability
There isn't much you need to do: keep the cup dry and use it indoors only, as the tinplate isn't rustproof – that way it keeps its silver shine for a long time. Cooled wax comes out of the metal cup easily, and that's all the care it needs.
