Fpk on Jan 30, 2015Use a potato peeler to "peel" the old candles. Set a taper candle in the center of a glass jar and surround it completely with the peeled candle pieces. You can layer candle colors if you have them.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Jan 31, 2015Used an old pot I dedicated to melting wax. I tied a bolt to the end of the wick so it would hang straight. Used a variety of containers. Best I found were the heavy cardboard deco containers that booze comes in. Would suspend the wick with the bolt to the bottom, tie top end around a pencil and centre it across the opening after the wax was poured in. Then I just peeled off the cardboard, and put the candle on a deco dish..Helpful Reply
