Candle Making Out Of Old Jar Candle

I bought a jar candle that I hated. It had no scent, so I melted it down and made some wee ones out of the wax. (Easy way to melt down a jar candle, put it in the oven on "warm" - it's soooo simple. And you can re-use the jar to melt down other wax in, by doing it the same way).
I used Brandy's waxed cup mold method, for easy clean up.

I had the red jar candle and a wee bit of purple wax left in another jar canle. I also added a bit of white wax to some of the red to make a layered look. (Just wait until one layer hardens - you can speed this by putting it in the freezer - and then pour a different color on top and repeat). I also added extra scent to my candles.

My lit candle.

Two other canldes, maybe give away as little giftys.

I had one other candle, but it was terribly deformed. I'll still use it, though. Wax is wax, baby.
