Grab your iron and some paper towel. Put the paper towel over the wax and iron (no steam) the paper towel. The heat melts the wax and the paper towel soaks it up.

The first Thing you have to do is get The wax, picked up.
You Get your iron warmed up(not hot) and you take paper towel and fold it and put it over the stain, now glide the iron on it, pickup the paper and throw it away, and do it again with a new piece of paper,keep doing this until you have all up, and the paper towel is clean. Now if you have a stain from the wax take 1teaspoons of dish detergent and 1/4th cup of white vinegar, and 1/4th cup of water and clean, try not to scrub all over, you don't want to let the stain spread.

pick as much of the dried wax off of the carpet as you can. Then put a lot of papertowel down over the stain and iron it. make sure you move the papertowel to a clean spot once in a while, so you aren't just melting it back into the fibres.
THEN, when it;s as good as it's going to get, and all ironed out, get a product called "spot shot" (it's a carpet stain remover) and follow the directions on it to get the rest of the colour out.

I have done that before, All i did was put a paper bag over the hardened wax and took my iron(no steam) and rubbed over the wax until it stuck to the paper bag and then pulled it up it came up very easily and no stain or anything it was awesome. my carpet is white and i spilled green candle was on the floor. Hope it works for you.

The answers containing the iron good and hot are correct, but you shoul use a brown paper bag, it helps to lift the wax up much better than a paper towel.

Lay a paper towel over it and iron it out.. The heat will soak it right up into the paper towel with out leaving any stain.. DO NOT RUB AT ALL... Just keep ironing it until it is gone.. It works great

Set ice on top of it. This will cause the wax to harden, and then you can easily peel it away from the carpet. Then vacuum up the "crumbs" of wax that remain.
Good luck.

Take a brown paper bag and a iron. you put the paper bag over the wax spill and then iron the bag. the heated iron will remelt the wax and make it stick to the paper bag, and whella your wax spill is gone and with no stains.

Unfortunately candle wax is not easy to get out. I would take a fine toothed comb and try to comb it out and vacuum it up. The if the dye has seeped in try a mild detergent or vinegar and water to get it out.

Freeze it. Buy either one of those 'Wart self removal kits' or just a can of compressed air (and use it upside down). Freeze the wax until it is frozen and therefore brittle. Break it up and out of the rug then vacuum away!
