Recycle Scented Candles (2014-09-19)
Leftover candles
Melt them in simmering water
Remove the old wick base
Adjust the length of the candle to fit the container
Anchor it in the container with a bit of wax
Pour melted wax in it
The melted wax was enough to make a full cup and a bit
The hot wax is melting the candle as well, I have to hold it for a while to steady it
If you're using just a wick, use anything to anchor it such as a pen
or a pet comb. If you don't have a wick base, just "glue" the wick with wax on a coin or fold-up aluminum and place it in the container
The wax is set
The candle may be crooked, it still burns okay
and still aromatic
