You can melt the remaining wax and combine all the candles, then repour it with a new wick.
Rosann....They can be melted and remolded. Use mason jars, empty candle jars...anything that will hold the hot wax. Buy wick at craft store and cut to length you need. Wrap the wick around a pencil and rest on the holder until it dries. Good luck
