Using Leftover Wax from Scented Candles

After burning large candles, you usually have a lot of wax left (sometimes scented). I melt the leftovers to make newer, smaller candles and just use birthday candles as the wicks. You can also melt crayons with the wax for some interesting effects.

I just put the wax in the microwave to melt. You can also just put the old candle in and melt it that way. (10/07/2006)

I never thought of using birthday candles for wicks. I have always bought the rolls of wick and tied it to a pencil over top of the container I am making the candle in. I thought they would melt quickly with the hot wax poured in. (10/08/2006)
