Have you ever wondered what to do with extra candles leftover after a special event or party? If you are like me, you probably have a hard time throwing them away, and yet can never find a use for them either.
Here is a solution. Melt them down, add a few petals from a special event, and create a new decorative keepsake candle. Here’s what you will need to do it.
Candle wax (Any kind will do, but I’m using leftover 3” floating candles)
An old pot for melting the wax
A clear glass vessel to pour the “new” candle into
Wicks
Tacky glue or adhesive spray
Flower petals
Chicken wire or some kind of grid to keep the candle wicks upright while your candle is drying.
Step 1: Use tacky glue or adhesive spray to attach dried petals and leaves to the inside of your vase. This will make sure you can see the petals through the wax. Let dry.
