Melted Candle Tarts
Do you know how many of these things I have thrown away over the past few years?Way too many!
I've never messed with candlemaking before but I thought I might as well try since I've got all this melted wax. It just needs re-scented and it would be good as new.
After talking to Carmen about the flashpoint of wax (the only thing that really concerned me) I decided to give it a try.
They worked perfect!
There are tons of oils, scents & dyes out there to use so I'll just have to experiment until I find the *one* for me.
But now that I know that I CAN do this I will be able to save tons of money.
I'll just remelt, rescent and reuse.
Now I just gotta find the right smell!
Anyone care to share their favorite candle scent
or even their favorite place to buy candle making supplies?
Stay warm!

Well look at you go girl, those look awesome! Are you addicted yet? LOL! One of my all time fav. scents is lemon pound cake from bittercreek, it is wonderful! Wish we lived closer, we could get into all kind of fun:)Next you'll be making soap! (I canceled my appt. and rescheduled for next wed. as they were calling for big snows.)
Well Jessica, that is something that I have always wanted to do. I have several Yankee candles that have lost their scent. I am going to have to get up enough nerve to try this. Thanks for posting, maybe I will try this too. BLessings!

I really like the design that the ice mold made on them! It's cute! I've never made candle melts before. I think yours turned out cute!
Have a Great Day!

I have never used these to make candles before. Thanks for the tip. I like anything except vanilla.
Jessica, that is pretty cool. I too have thrown away so many of those things I can’t tell you. Just wondering--if you melt them, do you no longer get any scent they may have had? I guess what I mean is-do they actually get to the point of having no scent? They look so cute. The ice trays worked well. Great idea! I want to try it. I have a couple of tart burners and those Yankee candle tarts are outrageous.
Happy Saturday,
Amy
What a great idea. I know when I make soap my favorite scents are vanilla and lavender.
You had a brainstorm, didn't you?
It worked. My favorite scents are vanilla and lavender, also.
I just might give it a try when I have time. You are so creative.
Those lil' candle tarts look just perfect! What a great idea.
