i use a candle warmer that plugs in, then i take my old used candles & put them in a jar & let it sit overnight till the wax becomes liquid.then i just add a wick while its liquid & wrap the top of the wick around a pencil & lay it horizontal across the top of the jar. turn off your warmer & the next day you have a new jar candle!!

Use 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.

Used 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..

I use a candle warmer and then if the wick are still good i use then in the new candles.. I love taking different candles and make one out of it by laying them in one jar, you have to let each layer hard first before adding the next
