I love to burn candles and melts so my home smells nice and especially love the seasonal candles. Looking at the wax at the bottom of a candle that would no longer burn gave me an idea. I thought what if I could get that out and use in my warmer thingy. So I did just that and it worked wonderfully. I just took a knife to the last bit of candle wax and broke it all up.
Then I grabbed one of my warmer melt things. What do you call these anyway? Just poured the pieces in and lit a candle underneath and wah-lah!
Worked great and is still giving me great scent when I light it two weeks later. Why had I not thought of this before? I even used some in my Scentsy warmer and that worked great as well.

Now why didn't I think of that??? LOL
Great idea! Thank you for sharing!
I've done that before! It does work good.
That is a great idea...I will try to remember that...I do keep my candles in the refrigerator....that seems to help them last longer also!!
Yep... I do that too! Works great! :)

YOU are brilliant! Just to think of all of those end of the candles I have tossed out!!!!
EXCELLENT idea!!! Thank you!
Future tip for you, pop the candle in the freezer for a few hours and it comes out of the jars beautifully!
That's a FABULOUS tip!
Whaaa... I thought I had 'invented' this. Cause I'm so 'frugal' LOL
Have a happy day !
I do that a lot. I am very frugal and why waste that awesome scent. You have my favorite candle pictured there. I just love Country Store!! Enjoy your wonderfully scented home ~Sara
What a great idea! I will try this next time!
Hugs, Cindy
Thanks for the idea! I just bought some "pecan pie" scented candles at wallyworld yesterday, they smelled so good I wanted to eat them. LOL Also a "mulled cider" one that smelled good, too.
That makes so much sense - great tip!
Yep- I do that too! I always thought it was because I am cheap...maybe it's because I am smart like you! xo Diana
Oh, you're clever, you are!
NO RED?
Imagine a world without red
For either a robin or sled:
How drab it would be
No scarlet to see,
But only grey shading instead!
