Easy!
You get a towel, turn your iron on, put the towel over the wax area, iron the towel and the wax sticks to the towel and the floor is wax free.
Voila!

Place a brown paper bag, several sheets of clean white paper, a white rag, or a white towel over the wax spill and iron over them using the warm iron. Keep moving the iron so you don’t get an iron-shaped burn mark in your carpeting, and move the absorbent paper or cloth so the wax melts onto a clean spot. When you see little spots that look like grease or water, you know the wax is lifting up out of your carpet.
Replace the absorbent paper or cloth as needed. You may have to repeat this process several times (using clean absorbent papers or cloths each time) to remove all of the wax from the carpet fibers. Work carefully; you don’t want to burn yourself or iron off the paper or cloth and melt the carpeting. Do not rush through this; it can be time-consuming, so be patient—it will remove the wax.
If small grease-like stains remain, sprinkle them with baking soda and let it sit overnight before vacuuming.
Now that your carpet is free of candle wax, take care to prevent similar accidents in the future:

Take your iron and put it on it's lowest setting. Put several layers of clean paper towels over the wax, and iron over the spot where the wax is. Keep moving around the paper towel to absorb as much of the wax as you can, adding new layers if needed.

Take wads of brown paper or paper towel and use a clothes iron without steam on. Put the paper over the wax and iron it to soak up the wax. Discard the paper when fully soaked and then repeat until all gone!
