Tea Light Candles Made From Used K-Cups

After Brewing A Cup Of Coffee With Your Keurig K-Cup
Make Tea Light Candles

Take used Keurig K-Cup and peel of foil once cooled down. Tap out grounds into a trash can or better yet into your compost pile. Pull out paper filter and do the same. Then have some Paraffin Wax melted in a pot on the stove. (might want to use a pot you don't like for cooking anymore). Have wicks ready cut to size. Take a little Pam cooking spray and spray a quick shot into the clean Keurig K-Cup. Carefully pour the hot wax into the used Keurig K-Cup. Quickly while still molten wax, gently push wick piece into the center of the K-Cup and leave 1/8 of an inch hanging out the top. Let cool completely (about 20 minutes). Hold K-Cup upside down and slam into open palm once or twice untill wax candle pops out of K-Cup candle form. You should be able to use quite a few times! Saves money and saves K-Cup from going to the Landfill!
