Often people just throw old candle pieces away without thinking of all the new projects they can make with the old wax.

Here are just a few suggestions :
   
Make fire starters with the old wax and bits of newspaper, straw, or shredded wood pieces.

 
 Pour the wax in a paper cup cake bottom.  Use the birthday candle as a new wick.  These are the cutest new candles from old wax.

 

Pour layers of old wax, so you have a cinnamon blending down to vanilla  Each new layer will give you a new scent and look at all the wax you have saved! Let alone the fun you will have.

 Make multicolored candles.  Just melt different colors separately and pour into molds or containers in layers! You can also drizzle the wax along the sides of a candle or melt your wax and roll any votive or pillar to make your own grubby candle.


  Melt old candle pieces in your potpourri burner or tart burner.  

Shred the old wax with a coleslaw shredder and place in old hose to make scent packs for you dresser drawers.

  Candle wax will make old dresser drawers or sticky windows slide easier.  Just run the wax over the wood that is sticking and your drawer or window will run smoother!
