After a long day, there’s no better feeling than savoring a cold beer. Elevate your relaxation with a homemade beer mug candle holder. This easy and creative DIY project adds a personal touch to your home decor and creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere in any room.
To make a beer mug candle holder, you will require the following items:
An empty beer mug that is clean and spotless.
– Candle wax remnants or used candles 
– Wicks for candles
– A double boiler or microwave-safe bowl is needed.
– Optional fragrance oils
– Optional: Food coloring
– Bamboo skewers or chopsticks
– A pair of scissors
After collecting all the necessary materials, proceed to follow these easy steps in order to create your beer mug candle holder:
Step 1: Make sure your beer mug is clean and dry. Take off any labels or stickers if needed.
Step 2: Trim the candle wick to the desired length, ensuring it is long enough to reach the bottom of the mug with a little extra length for trimming later.
Step 3: To secure the wick in the center of the beer mug, wrap one end around a wooden skewer or chopstick and place it across the rim of the mug. This will hold the wick in place as you pour the wax.
Step 4: Melt candle wax flakes or old candles in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Remember to remove any wicks or debris if using old candles.
Step 5: After fully melting the wax, take it off the heat and add fragrance oils or food coloring, as desired. Gently stir the wax to evenly distribute the fragrance or color.
Step 6: Pour the melted wax into the beer mug with caution, leaving some space at the top to prevent spills. Hold the wick in position while pouring to maintain its center.
Step 7: Let the wax cool and fully harden, which can take a few hours depending on the beer mug’s size. To speed up the process, you can place the mug in the refrigerator or freezer.
Step 8: After the wax has solidified, cut the wick to the desired length, leaving approximately 1/4 inch above the wax surface. This will promote even burning and minimize smoke production.
Step 9: Enjoy your beer mug candle holder now that it is ready! Light the wick and relax in the cozy glow and delightful scent of your handmade candle.
A beer mug candle holder is not just a stylish addition to your home decor, but also a special and personalized gift for loved ones. Customize the candle with various scents, colors, and beer mug designs to match the recipient’s preferences.
