You can make them into NEW ones!
Read on and I'll show you how to re-vamp these candles and give them another life.
So my candle looks like this:
But really the wax is burned in the center ALLLL the way down to the bottom.
I feel like it is such a waste to just throw it away (even tho they are always on sale for $4.99) So I bought some new wicks for about $3.
Since there is a metal disk at the bottom of the wick, I ruled out the microwave as a melting tool. I had two candles so I did them at the same time.
I put them both in a pot of water and let them boil until the wax melted all the way down.
The wicks I bought were much longer than the candle so I actually cut it in half. The one with the metal disk at the bottom stood up by itself.
The top half of the wick didn't have a disk on it so I took a cupcake liner and poked a hole in it to keep the wick standing up while the wax cooled.
Like this:
Let them sit until they cool and harden again.
Then I peeled off the stickers.
Then you are all done. Light them up and enjoy. You have another whole half of a candle to enjoy. (oxy moron, whole/half?)
Very nice! I bet it smelled good when you melted it in the water too!
ReplyDeleteYou are one smart lady with the cupcake liner idea! when I made candles I tried balancing the wicks with pencils & knives HA!
Wow, what a fabulous idea. LOVE IT. Gonna try it for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I have a closet full of half burnt candles just like yours. I hated to throw them away1 Thanks for the tip.
