Upcycling Used Candles

I'm about to give it a go with some used candles and a touch of positivity. 😬 

I recently came across an idea that made me think - "Shit. I can do that"!

I'm all set to work some candle magic for of three important people in my life. Here's where things took a bit of a twist - I might have chosen the wrong candles. I bought three oversized ones from Target.  These candles burned slower than a person with pennies at the bank deposit line - lasting a whopping 24 hours! Lesson learned - when dressing a candle for a specific purpose, choose one that doesn't double as a bedside nightlight!

Now, here's where the metaphysical magick truly kicks in. Rather than tossing the leftover wax from a spent candle, I found myself pondering... What if I could reincarnate these wax remnants, giving them a second chance at burning again, thus keeping the spiritual cycle going? After all, the wax is already dressed and scented with the power of my intentions.

I could melt down the used wax and pour it into new, glass or bowls, transforming it into a completely new with combined scents and intentions.  The unused wax from all three candles holds the promise of what I think will be a very neat new candle. 

All I'll need is new wicks and something in which to pour the new wax.  I came across a video where someone snagged an old coffee maker from a Goodwill store for a mere $5.00, transforming it into a wax-melting cauldron.  With a little thrift store luck, I think this won't be too much of a challenge at all.

I look forward to trying this.  I'll definitely post the results as a follow up 😏
