While it may be disheartening to acknowledge that your beloved candle has finally burned so completely that it cannot be relit, there is always a bright side: these simple crafts allow you to utilize every last bit of the colorful or scented wax.
You may melt the leftover wax from a taper, pillar, or jarred candle and utilize it in a number of ways, such as adding it to a candle warmer or creating lovely flower wax sachets that make kind gifts or useful fire starters.
How to Melt Candle Wax Safely
Wax leftover in jars or candle holders, as well as the bottoms of too-small candles, can be melted and reused.
