Using Leftover Candle Wax |
|
|
I love candles. My favorite are Yankee jar candles but I do have other regular candles and I hate to get rid of the wax when the wick are burned out to the bottom in the regular candles but there doesn't seem to be anything else I can do with it. Any ideas? Jennie from CT

RE: Using Leftover Candle Wax
I usually keep any leftover scented chunks and use them in a tartwarmer. Also, I put them in little snack size zipper baggies and poke a few pinholes in the bag to let out the scent. These can be stashed in the dresser or linen closet and the coat closet as well.
RE: Using Leftover Candle Wax
The way that we make new candles from old ones is to put all the leftover wax from several candles into one jar and put it on one of those candle warmers. It melts the wax, then we put a taper candle in the middle of the wax. Use string to hold the taper in place as the wax hardens. Then you just light the taper and it will burn the wax around it as well. We had to play with it a little to get it to do just right, but eventually it worked.

Make new candles out of the wax. Break up the leftover wax and place in the top of a double boiler. Tie a wick around a pencil and place in a mold or container of your choice. Pour the melted wax into mold and let cool.
