Requirements:

White Birthday Candle
Tea Cup with Saucer
Superglue
Metal Can (either coffee or soup can)
Tongs
White Candle Wax

Procedure

Fill the vintage tea cup with hot water, so as to warm the cup. Warming the cup is a precaution to protect the vintage tea cup from breaking apart. If you don’t warm up the cup, there is possibility for it to crack when hot wax gets poured in it.
Fill a small pot with water and set it to boil. Wait for it to get boiled and meanwhile, you can break the big blocks of wax into small chunks. Small chunks of wax can be melted easier than the big hard ones. Place the chopped wax into a soup can.
Once you find out that the water is boiled, you can place the soup can into the boiling water by holding it in place with tongs. Then empty the water from the tea cup and dry thoroughly.
Once the wax is melted into a liquid form, you need to pour it into the tea cup slowly and very carefully to the desired height. Be careful to not to spill the hot wax outside the tea cup.
After the wax is completely melted and poured into the tea cup, it will become pliable. Then you can nail a hole down the centre.
Place a birthday candle in a color of your wish [white is preferable because it is easy to get white wax in the stores] and make sure that it matches with the color of the vintage tea cup which you are using for the process. If your candle color is white, then it will suit with any other color.
You need to melt a little more wax and pour it over the top of the candle. The birthday candle will make a perfect wick for your tea cup candle. You can also decorate the teacup with beads using superglue.
