place paper towels over the area, use a warm iron to lift the wax to the towels.

First, get it really cold! Use an ice-pack, etc. then scrape off as much as possible. If you can't get it all, use an iron ~on low~ and put layers of paper towels over it, and move the iron over it so the paper towel absorbs it. Change to new towels as needed, and don't let the iron touch the carpeting,it could melt it. Then fluff up the carpet fibers with a fork.
Good Luck!!

you can also use a hair dryer to melt the wax & blot with papertowles. If you have synthetic carpet the iron even if it is on low heat can melt the carpet.

Ice or iron...that's about the only way.
If it's a small area rug you could have it dry cleaned...although, unless you have an exceptionally good one in your area, I'd avoid that option.

use an old cloth and iron, the cloth soaks up the wax as it melts. you may have to go over it many time before its gone

Freeze it with ice cubes and then scrap it off with a butter knife.
