can used candles be remade with the wax left ,after the wick has burned up?

Question

i have candles that the wick has burned out of,can the wax be reused,and made into new one,if so how?

Answer 1

Sure, melt them down, mix it all together and make new ones.
You can buy candlestick molds and do it at home.

Answer 2

Oh yes!!! Go to the nearby candle store and buy extra wicks. Then melt the candles down while holding the wick up straight with a pencil across the top of your container. The wider the wisk the longer it will burn! You cn use the wax/paper cartons to form a square candle, again lay the wick across the bottom, held down with a VERY TINY rock, pull the wick up straight, then gently pour the wax inside. Let it sit and cool, I'd want to wait a day or so. You can buy extra wax, called "Parafin Wax" in the section where the sugar/flour is in the store, it is usually on the very top shelf! They have candle making kits at the craft store too! So go for it! This will give you a paler shade of red/yellows try not to mix colors they usually turn out gray, yuck! Wais for the wax in the carton mold to dry completely, maybe a day, then tear the carton from the mold. Wa-La! Instant candle.

Answer 3

I do believe you can, you just have to have a mould that can handle hot wax & make sure you can be bothered standing around holding the wick in place till it sets enough. Try researching the net, Im sure if you google candle making, you will egt some idea of what to do! Happy making

Answer 4

yep all you need is a new wick and a jar for the candle, put the wick in the center and pour the melted wax around it

Answer 5

JoAnne's or Michaels have wicks. I would recommend getting a double boiler to melt the old wax.

Answer 6

careful when you melt the wax. Talk to someone at a craft store or reseach it on the internet. I think you need to use a double-boiler or a crock pot.

Answer 7

after you finish the used candle wax project, what's next ..... used toilet paper ?
