How do you make new candles out of old candles?

Can you make new candles out of the old stubs of used ones and if so how?

• Answer:

  you can remelt them. Be carefull when do that. You must have a small pot (or casserole) for the stubs and a bigger one. Pour water in the big and put the small in it. Then put both in the fire (I mean cooker). If put subs in a pot and right in the cooker the stubs will take fire! Once the water start to boil turn the heat down so that it simmers. The wax should start melt. Then fix the wick. Bed it with a little plasticine at the bottom into a mold and pour the hot wax in. Leave to cool app.5 hours. To remove the new candle turn the mold upside down and push. As a mold you can use a paper box of milk or a plastic container of a yogurt. Be carefull. If you are under 18 ask for an adult's help. Not overheat the wax, it takes fire!
