Making wax melts out of my old candles

I love doing this with my old candles that have no wick left. I think it’s fun and I usually use the empty containers and pots for my smaller plants. Tbh it makes me feel a little better about buying so many candles. #DIY #candles #makingcandles #waxmelts

... Read moreMaking wax melts from old candles is not only a creative way to repurpose them, but it also allows you to enjoy the delightful scents they provide. Start by gathering old candles that have burned down, and ensure they are free from wicks. Heat water in a pot on the stove, and then place a heat-safe container within the boiling water to create a double boiler effect. Carefully add the candle remnants to this container and let them melt down completely. Once liquefied, pour the warm wax into muffin tins or silicone molds, letting it cool and harden. This method is a fun DIY project that lets you personalize scents and even add color to your wax melts. Enjoy the process of creating a new sensory experience while being environmentally conscious by reducing waste!
