How to recycle the remains of melted candle
Although of course it is allowed to buy things for this plan, we invite you to try to do it only with Things you have at home. You will need:
- Candle remains.
- Colored waxes or dyes in case you want a particular color.
- Cotton.
- A pot To boil water.
- Containers in which to put your new candles.
- Essential oils.
- Aromatic herbs, coffee, lemon, orange.
To start, let’s do the Cotton wicks: Cut it the right size, a little longer than the container where you are going to put the candle. Soak the laces in molten wax and let them dry.
Then, we start with the wax. We cut the candle remains in smaller parts to melt faster. Discover those who are already burned or have some stain. You are going to melt into a container to the water bath And don’t get it out of there until it is completely liquid. And if you want to change the color, here is when you put the dyes.
Add the essential oil or aromatic grass you want for the smell of your candle. Some oil suggestions are:
- Pine essential oil: Stress, muscle pain and colds decreases
- Mint essential oil: stimulating, relieves and refreshes mind and body
- Pachulí essential oil: antidepressant and aphrodisiac
- Citronela essential oil: Ahuyenta insects
- Orange essential oil: revitalizes and full of energy.
The last step is to put the liquid in the container: place the wick and hold it with tweezers or wood to prevent it from moving. If you want to decorate, it’s the time. Finally, throw the liquid inside. Wait for it to cool and solidify and ready, you already have your Recycled aromatic candle and made by you.
