When you have a candle that burns unevenly and wax is left in the jar or in a pillar, you can place the wax in the microwave and melt the wax. If the candle is a pillar, place it in a jar so when the wax melts, you can place the wick into the jar. It is inexpensive to buy a roll of wick at Michael's or WalMart. Cut the wick to the appropriate level of the melted candle and place in the middle of the wax. You have a new candle and your only cost is a few cents for a wick.

Making candles was a fun experience when I was young. We saves our toilet tissue rolls. Also used wax crayons for different colors. For red candles, old lipstick added to the wax works well.

Can you use extra candle wax for depilatory waxing? All other homemade kinds require lots of sugar and lemon, both of which I don't have.

Soy wax melts well in the microwave but I wouldnt recommend melting parrafin wax in the microwave. Seriously.

Rather try melting over hot water or in a very low oven and watch it closely no matter what.
