Cake candles are typically made of paraffin wax or other types of wax, and they can be recycled or repurposed in a few ways. Here are some ideas:
Make new candles: You can melt down the used candles and pour the wax into a new candle mold, along with a new wick. This is a great way to create unique, colorful candles.
Create fire starters: You can use the candles to create fire starters for your fireplace or grill. Simply melt down the wax, pour it into a paper cup or egg carton, and add some kindling. Once the wax has hardened, you can light the kindling to start a fire.
Use as drawer fresheners: Cut up the used candles and place them in a sachet or small cloth bag. Place the bag in a drawer to keep clothes smelling fresh.
Make wax melts: Melt down the used candles and pour the wax into a mold for wax melts. This is a great way to reuse the wax and enjoy your favorite scents.
Donate to a local art center: Some art centers or schools may be interested in using the candles for art projects, such as sculpture or candle-making classes.
Remember to always exercise caution when handling melted wax and to follow proper safety procedures.
