Lay a doubled papertowel over the wax and iron it. Once the wax has saturated the paper towel, put a new one on. eventually, you will absorb all of the wax into paper towels. you may be left with an oil stain... then treat that like a stain

Acc,
You didn't say what kind of furniture the wax was on, so I'll just go over the most common kinds.
1. Wood - Scrape off the wax with a plastic scraper without scratching the finish. Use a degreasing solvent, like Dissolve-it to remove the last bit of wax and wipe clean.
2. Upholstered furniture - Scrape off the bulk of the cooled wax ( this is very easy if you use ice or even dry ice to make it solid). Cover the remaining wax spot with absorbent paper towels and heat gently with an iron. The wax will melt and wick into the paper towel. I was amazed the first time!
Caution! If you use an iron, it is possible to leave an iron mark on the fabric if the heat setting is too high. The goal is to warm the wax without melting the fabric. So, start with the temp low and gradually warm it until the wax alone melts.
Hope this helps,
Good luck

If it is on cloth place an ice cube to get it real cold, pick off as much as you can. Then use an iron and paper toweel, or paper bag or even another piece of cloth and iron it out. The wax will be attracted towards the heat. If the wax is on something solid, then just use the ice cube and then scrape it off. When it is cold it will stick together better.

Try putting an ice pack on the candle wax so it gets hard and hopefully it will pop off with gentle prying. Good luck!

Ice cubes. Hold an ice cube on the wax until it hardens completely and then just pluck off the wax. It works like a charm!

Take a brown paper bag or paper towel and using an iron at low heat, place the bag/paper on the wax and use the iron to heat through it and the wax will be absorbed by the paper

Use ice and when the wax get very hard from the cold, it will break up and you can vacuum it away.

Rub it with ice or a freezer pack and then scrape off.
