Step 1 of 5

Take any BBW candle that has burned down too low to use . In a sauce pan fill 1/2 full with water & bring to boil. Remove lid from candle

Step 2 of 5

Place candle in boiling water , turn burner off & let sit until wax is completely melted . Remove from water and CAREFULLY pour wax into flexible ice tray

Step 3 of 5

I used a star tray but it doesn't matter as long as it's flexible Let wax harden and flex tray to remove . These work GREAT in wax warmers !

Step 4 of 5

REMEMBER THIS STEP ! As soon as you pour wax into tray , peel off label ! It will peel off without leaving a sticky residue . Then wash with hot soapy water

Step 5 of 5

Use the jar and lid for ANYTHING ! I used these for cotton balls and Qtips in our bathroom :)

You're Done!

How do you remove the wick at the bottom of the jar, once all the wax is gone?

Do you know if you can use the wax in the ceramic oil burners that burn from the bottom with a tea light?

Or you can use fragrances oil , and it has the same effect.

Hummm , how do I explain that ? Well , it's kind of like a small ceramic lamp , mine is squarish with a square shaped plate like lid , with the light bulb underneath the lid . You place the wax tarts on the lid and turn the light on . The light bulb melts the wax and the wax releases the fragrance .
