What this product does: A set of metal wick tabs with wickholding bases designed for DIY candle making. Each tab holds the wick securely in place so you can make teacup candles, tea lights, votives, and lantern wicks with consistent results. Key benefits (why you need it): Stable wick placement: metal bases keep the wick centered and upright while the wax sets, preventing tipping or sinking that causes uneven burning. Durable, reusable components: practical metal construction resists deformation for longer use in multiple projects. Cleaner burn and neat appearance: compatible with smokeless candle wicks and a natural look that suits wax cups and teacupstyle containers. Simplifies DIY candle making: no need for improvised holders or complicated tools—these tabs make setup faster and more reliable. Important attributes: Function: wick tabs with integrated holding bases to anchor wicks in place during pouring and curing. Material: practical metal bases for durability and stable performance. Compatibility: designed for teacup candles, tea lights, beeswax wick tabs and other waxfilled cups and holders. Performance: supports smokeless wick options and helps produce even, consistent burns. Typical use scenarios: 1. Making teacup candles: insert the wick into the metal tab, center it in a teacup or ceramic container, pour wax, and let cure for a stable, attractive candle suitable for gifts or home décor. 2. Replacing lantern wicks: use the metal bases as replacements in small lanterns or outdoor candle holders where a solid wick anchor is needed for reliable burning. 3. Crafting tea lights and votives: assemble wicks with tabs before pouring beeswax or other wax into tea light cups to ensure consistent wick position and cleaner burns. Quick tips for results: Position the tab at the bottom center of the container before pouring to prevent wick drift. Use with recommended smokeless wicks or beeswax wick tabs for appearance and performance. Allow wax to fully cure before trimming the wick to achieve a steady, even flame. This set provides the essential metal wick tabs and bases needed for practical, repeatable DIY candle projects such as teacup candles, tea lights, beeswax votives, and lantern wick replacements.
