Candle in a tin

I love this idea for a DIY candle over at Design Sponge! They'd make great wedding favors or hostess gifts.

She used an old Altoids tin for this candle. I recently bought a giant box of round tin containers with screw lids to hold the letterpress ink colors that I mix by hand. I'm thinking I might use some of them to make this the next time I'm in the mood for DIY that doesn't involve hammers and paintbrushes. I got my containers from Specialty Bottle, a company I love because they don't make you buy a case of 100 of them! (They also have hinged tins like those use for Altoids!)
