Materials Needed:
Tea Light Candles:
- Small, unscented tea light candles.
Heat-resistant Container:
- A container that can withstand heat. Options include a ceramic or glass container.
Metal Tray or Stand:
- A metal tray or stand to hold the tea light candles beneath the container.
Insulating Material:
- Insulating material to place between the container and the surface it rests on. This can be cork, felt, or another heat-resistant material.
Decorative Elements (Optional):
- If desired, you can add decorative elements to enhance the aesthetics of your tea warmer.
Instructions:
Prepare the Container:
- Ensure the container you choose is heat-resistant and suitable for holding hot liquids. A ceramic or glass teapot or mug with a lid works well.
Place Insulating Material:
- Put a layer of insulating material on the surface where you plan to place the tea warmer. This helps protect the surface from heat.
Set Up the Metal Tray or Stand:
- Arrange the metal tray or stand, making sure it's stable and secure. This will hold the tea light candles.
Position Tea Light Candles:
- Place the tea light candles on the metal tray or stand. Space them evenly to provide uniform heat.
Position the Container:
- Set the heat-resistant container on top of the metal stand, directly above the tea light candles. Ensure that it sits securely.
Light the Candles:
- Light the tea light candles. The heat from the candles will rise and keep the container warm.
Cover with Lid (Optional):
- If your container has a lid, you can cover it to further retain heat and keep the tea warmer for a longer time.
Monitor and Refill Candles:
- Keep an eye on the candles. When they burn out, replace them with new tea light candles to maintain a consistent temperature.
Decorate (Optional):
- If desired, you can decorate the tea warmer with additional elements, such as ribbons, beads, or paint, to personalize its appearance.
Safety Considerations:
- Place the tea warmer on a stable surface away from flammable materials.
- Never leave the tea warmer unattended while the candles are lit.
- Exercise caution when handling hot containers.
