LIFESTYLE: DIY HOW TO MAKE A CANDLE USING OLD CANDLES.


TO MAKE YOUR OWN DIY CANDLE YOU WILL NEED:
- A CONTAINER (POT, GLASS ETC) 
- OLD CANDLES (I'M JUST USING THESE TEALIGHTS) 
-WICKS - YOU CAN GET THESE OFF EBAY
-MICROWAVE SAFE CONTAINER.( use a container that you can throw away) 


 1. BREAK UP YOUR CANDLES OR USE A SPOON TO SCRAPE ANY LEFT OVERS FROM OTHER CONTAINERS.
2. ON A 60 POWER SETTING IN A MIRCROWAVE MELT THE WAX. DO THIS IN 1 MINUTE BURSTS TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE WAX.
3.CONTINUE UNTIL THE WAX HAS MELTED INTO A LIQUID
 4. PLACE THE WICK IN THE CONTAINER AND POUR IN THE WAX, I FOUND LEAVING THE WAX TO COOL WORKED BEST AS THE HOT WAX KEPT MELTING MY WICKS.

 5. I'VE USED THE BAMBOO TO HOLD THE WICK IN PLACE UNTIL THE WAX HAS COOLED ENOUGH.
6. WHEN THE WAX HAS COOLED ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN MOVE THE CANDLE POP IT IN THE FREEZER TO FINISH COOLING.
7. THERE YOU GO A BRAND NEW CANDLE :)

I attempted to do this a couple of weeks back to a yankee candle wax thingy. I failed spectacularly, but I'll be following these tips next time and fingers crossed I'll do much better!
