In this tutorial I will show you how easy it is to melt old candles and get new ones.

Instructions

  1. Small 109514 2f2015 06 24 095410 20141204 0011

    Here are the materials you will need.

    Melt the old candles in the pot. Use low temperature!

  3. Small 109514 2f2015 06 24 095824 20141204 0119

    Place the wick in the middle of the old glas bottles and fix it at the bottom with a drop of hot glue. To prevent from falling, fix the wix with the spit of wood and some tape.

    Pour the melted wax into the glas bottles.

    Don't fill the glass bottles completely, you will need to pour some more wax into it a bit later.

    One hour later the wax have cooled down a bit. Now it is time to pour in the rest of the wax. No let the wax cool down completely before moving on to the next step.

    Cut some lace and add it with the hot glue gun to the glass.

    Finally add the twine above the lace and make a pretty knot.
