Removing candles from holders...
I have Christmas candle holders that have candles inside which have been half melted. I want to take the candles out before putting them away, but they are stuck in there.
Anyone know how you would get these out???
Thanks!

Re: Removing candles from holders...
stick them in the freezer for a little while; - the candles will pop out.
in the future...if you put a little water in the holder before you put the candle in, it helps the candle pop out when it's done

I totally agree with you BUT I did this once and it didn't pop out so easily, I ended up cracking the candle holder and almost cutting my hands. Just be careful  I like the idea of water, that was probably my mistake

I've always heard of freezing them if you were having trouble removing them.
I'm wondering if floating them in a pot of heated water would melt the wax a little and also help remove them?

Placing hot water in it does remove the wax!!

I put mine in the microwave for a few seconds, If it does not have any metal on it of course...
Do not place it under running hot water in your sink, I clogged up the drain once...
