How to make "scented candles" by reusing the remains of paraffin wax from the candle holders

These candles are easy to make, we only need the remains of paraffin wax that are left in the candle holders and small aluminum molds, in the market there are many molds of different sizes and shapes, you choose the one you want. As for the scent of the candle, I will need an incense stick to use the scent material.

Materials and tools:

  • Remains of paraffin wax left in the chandeliers.
  • Aluminum molds, 4 cm round.
  • A stick of incense
  • A candle to melt the material.
  • a metal spoon
  • scissor

Process:

  • The aluminum molds have a small round piece with a hole to hold the wick, so the first step will be to prepare the wick, I will do this with a piece of double thread, which we twist and impregnate with the melted paraffin, then this, we insert the wick through the hole, we are going to glue the piece with a little melted paraffin:

  • In this second step, I will prepare the material to proceed to melt it to fill the molds, for this I will place the remains of the candles in a spoon, then I add a little powder to paint the green clothes and the material that covers the incense wand with the smell of roses, to melt the material I will use a lit candle:

  • In the next step, I am going to fill the molds with the melted paraffin wax, we will do this very carefully to avoid spills and making sure that the wick is straight:
