how to recycle candles?

ya know when you have lots of wax left over from a big candle and the wick is at the bottom of the candle, is there anyway to melt the leftover ax to make a new candle and put a new wick in it?

you may still be able to use one of those electric candle warmers to have it still smell.

I have a candle warmer (it's similar to a mug warmer) that melts the wax and the jar candles last so much longer!

I think you can also chip away the wax you have left over and use it in a tart warmer

You should also be able to put the candle in the freezer to "shrink" the wax and pop it out.

Then I break it into chunks and use it in my tart warmer -- you know the one where you put a tealight on the bottom and a tart of wax on top -- this way I don't have to buy any tarts.
