Using Leftover Candle Wax

RE: Using Leftover Candle Wax Post by Trisch (2) | (09/07/2007) Contact 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.

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.

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.
