Years ago I too had the problem of getting that last bit of wax out of votive cups. Then I had an idea that worked. I turn the oven on 200 degrees, put the cups upside down on several layers of paper towles on a ceramic dish and put inside the oven. Turn off the heat and let the wax melt into the paper towels. A bonus: Use the waxy paper towel as a firestarter in your fireplace or camp fire. Works great!
I had a small votive I wanted to redo with a candle of my own. It had melted in the back seat of my car on the way home. Knowing that candles freeze and then last longer, I thought "what do I have to lose"?
After just an afternoon in the freezer, I took it out and the melted candle came out like it wasn't ever "one with the glass". Now I have the pretty glass votive for my own candle. This works great if you have gum stuck to your clothes, too, by the way!

Put the candle holder in the freezer overnight. In the morning gently tap it upside down and the wax will fall out.
