Terra-Cotta Candles

This is a VERY old project that I found while going through some boxes at my parents.  I loved those little mini terra cotta pots and wanted to do something fun with them.

 

Step 1: Paint the pots in fun colors 

Step 2: Glue a penny to the bottom of the pot to cover the hole and glue the wax candle wick to the penny 

Step 3: Pour in wax and let dry 

WARNING: The pots are flammable without treating them.  I am not sure exactly how to do that so these became more of decoration than anything else.  I am sure with a little research I could figure it out.
