Hello Could you remelt and make your own candle?
I have done that too..but I just thought maybe there was something else!! Thank You Dee!
If there is any charred or smoky parts of the curls, gently scrap or melt off with a warm knife-to soften the wax. If you want to keep the shape, you could put artificial flowers in the hole. And then place them on a plain dish or saucer and put a ring of greenery around the base or more of the floral pieces to complement. Also you could do a holiday theme.
Once, I stuck a votive in the hole. Or, you could put in a battery operated votive.
You can melt them in an old pot and make tea lights https://www.simplenaturedecorblog.com/how-to-create-a-oyster-shell-tea-light-candle/
you can melt them down and make new smaller ones.
Hi! I would put them each on a pillar candlestick and tuck in a small votive candle where the wick would be. You could also accentuate the curls with glitter and/or metallic paint. Good luck and stay safe!
How to Make a New Candle from Your Old Candles

I would put smaller candles inside them. If you burn smaller candles like votives, you will still smell the fragrance of the big candles. Good luck.
Melt it down. The easiest way I melt old candles is by putting it on a hot warmer plate. There is no mess doing it this way. You can add wax easily and then add a new wick to it.
Hi,
Use as ornaments. Melt and start again. Use the wax to make pictures or art.
They can be melted and create a new candle. An old wine bottle with the top cut off or a soup can could be used as a form.
Hello. Remove from site and stick onto a wooden plinth after you have painted them, and use as ornaments.
