candle wax.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to use up lovely scented wax left when the wick burns out from glass containers? I have lots of half empty glasses of unused wax and even though I cannot use them I just love the smell. I hate to throw them out so any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

you can get candle moulds and wicks in art shops, just melt down the wax in an old saucepan and make some new candles! kiara x

Thanks for the tip, will try it on monday. It seemed such a waste to not use them.

Another way of using them up is place small amount of scented wax on clean oil burner (like you'd use with Yankee candle cakes) and light t-light under it. Same as buying wax cakes. After a while the scent will burn off and you'll be left with just unscented wax. You could then use this as Kiera suggested and make your own candles and add some essential oils to it.

thank you also, will try this also. I could start up my own little business now with these tips.
